How to solve it?

Hi @pritam.shete,

Audio2Face-2D NIM requires an NVIDIA AI Enterprise Licence. You can find out more about NVIDIA AI Enterprise here NVIDIA AI Enterprise.

Best,

Sophie

@sophwats Thank you for reply.

NVIDIA MolMIM is also released under NVIDIA Interprise. But I am able to download it.

I am facing problem with Audio2Face-2D only.

Hi @pritam.shete,

MolMIM is covered by our Developer programs license as well as NVIDIA AI Enterprise - In this case you have access through the Developer program.

Audio2Face-2D is only available through the NVIDIA AI Enterprise licence.

Best,

Sophie

Thank you for details.

of course.

Sorry you ran into this and that the message is unclear. We are working internally to improve the error message and the webpage to make it clearer what the requirements are for each NIM.

Best,

Sophie
