ANSYS Licensing FAQ

Categories:
Tags: , ,

Were you so excited to jump on your analysis only to have a “server is down or not responsive” message pop out and alienate you from the fun like a prestigiously exclusive club would make their patrons wait at the door? It might have been your manager running a reverse psychology trick on you or maybe not.

If it is the latter, you are not alone. As a matter of fact, licensing questions come to us on a regular basis. And even though there are plenty of information on the web, we figured it would be beneficial to have the most frequent answers gathered into one place: an FAQ document (attached on this blog).

The Table of Contents includes the following topics:

  1. Server down or not responsive
  2. Installation/Migration
  3. VPN
  4. TECS and license expiry
  5. Versions compatibility
  1. Overuse of licenses
  2. Include list
  3. HPC
  4. Virtual server

Here is the PDF:

The document was written with the assumption of the reader having no prior experience with ANSYS or licensing in general. It is formatted in an easy step-by-step format with photos. The table of contents has hyperlinks embedded in it and can be used to easily navigate to the relevant sections.

We do hope that this document will bring value in solving your licensing issues, and we are always here to help if it doesn’t:
