While I do not know what may have caused your issue either, a restore-install may help - or if not, a complete uninstall-reinstall. Ideally your licensing info should remain but you can always re-license your copy with the code sent to you by email (and yes, you can always re-use that license as long as it is still valid - for student licenses, generally for one academic year or what).
