I've made a net class called LVDS with desired settings.
I've added my differential pairs as per the differential pairs table.
When I go to route in PCB, I'm not asked if I want to check out the high speed license... (unless I edit the diff pairs table in Technology) and I don't see and of the context items as expected per the help menus.
In 7.6 and with network licensing, when going to edit a part of a diff pair, you should find diff pair options, reflective of the selection, within your menus and on choosing one, a message asking if you wish to obtain the high speed license should appear.

Nope. When I click on one of the connection pairs (the net line) -- no such dialog appears for me to respond to.
Double click to start the routing from a pad/connection of a diff pair, go to context menu where you should find diff pair options. On choosing a HS option, then the message should appear for the license.

I figured it out (I think)
I had via's in the way (1 on each net is a test point) -- when I moved it out of the way so the net connection line was from the pad to pad with no intermediate pads, I got the right context in the menu and then the "high speed checkout" dialog.
Is that considered normal operation? I'd like the test points in there (they actually double for needed vias that put the signal from top component to bottom connector) or is there another way I should be doing this?
