I am having a similar issue installing the student version of Cost X 7.1. where it states that both Cost X Auth and Core are not running. When entering the services dashboard on my laptop both fail to start. I have tried every solution suggested in the forum such as reinstalling Cost X, turning of my AV and firewalls and excluding the cost x file from my AV, etc. But all these options failed to fix the issue.
I recently uninstalled Cost X version 7.0 from my laptop, I assume this might be causing the problems. Otherwise i am looking for assistance and guidance on what to do next to resolve this issue ASAP.
Kind Regards,
Adam
