When I attempt to load an EnSight case file I get the window asking me which reader I want to use and EnSight Master Server Reader is there but EnSight Reader isn’t. I checked the available plugins but didn’t see anything there. What am I missing?
I have the same issue in 5.7 and 5.6, both on Windows and Linux which makes me think I definitely missed an option somewhere.

You case file is probably considered invalid. Can you share it ?

You will have to share the whole case for us to be able to test.
