  • Did you used Internet Explorer to access the Content Manager Explorer interface of SDL Web to install the Content Porter?

  • This looks like caching issue, restart the com+ service, IIS and SDL services and then try .

  • Did you see my answer here tridion.stackexchange.com/a/8553/71 about having to install the server-side part of Content Porter? Have you already done that?

  • Have you also checked whether your Internet Explorer browser is running in 'Compatibility Mode'? Please note that it should not be! However, this would probably cause bigger UI problems than just the Content Porter icon.

    It wasn’t so much the licence that I was questioning, more that the server-side element of Content Porter was definitely installed. Even if it is, you could try re-running the Content Porter (server) installer to repair it.

After going through the documentation Content Porter for SDL Web 8 I found missing prerequisites. Once all the prerequisistes (VC++ 2010 x86, Microsoft.NET 4.5.2) were installed I was able to get the Content Porter Icon and it was working fine.

@user2166, try to clear your browser's cache and see if that helps.
