check if license is ok, if so then check if license server is up or not.
u can do that in ciw by license check from third menu from left!!!
some tools like layout editor will not permit edition in icms and thus u will see only some options of the tool bar.
There is a "options" in the menu of CIW. Under the options, choose the "user preferences". There is an Icon bar, and make sure the "None" is not selected.
I am not familar with the NCSU kit, and is only a user of virtuoso.
Maybe others who are more experience can give your better advice.
