Ansys 2019 R3 - spaceclaim license problem.

drumlinsdrumlins Member
in Ansys Free Student Software

I am running Ansys 2019 R3 and recently updated the license file as per the recommended procedure.

However, when I try to use SpaceClaim or DesignModeler, I get the error report:

ANSYS LICENSE MANAGER ERROR

Capability ANSYS SpaceClaim Direct Modeller does not exist in the ANSYS licensing pool.

No specified user license preferences match available products in the specified licence path:

ANSYSLI_SEREVRS:

FLEXlm Servers: <path to the file student.lic.>


The student.lic file contains the following:

Having searched the forum for possible solutions, I tried the

move "%appdata%\ansys" "%appdata%\ansys.old"

fix but no success. Running the diagnostic

"%awp_root201%\..\Shared Files\Licensing\winx64\ansysli_util" -checkout SPACECLAIM

produced

Any help and/or advice would be gratefully received!

Thanks.

    @mmadore Just an update to let you know I managed to get SpaceClaim to work. I did so by carrying out an uninstall of 2019 R3, then manually deleted all Ansys & spaceclaim folders left over. This was followed by a fresh install of 2019 R3 but before I started it for the first time, I firstly updated the student.lic file. Then I did the spaceclaim checkout test from within the command window and this time it seemed to work. Finally, opening Workbench, I was then able to access SpaceClaim.

    Hope the above is of some use to others who find themselves in a similar situation. Thanks for all the earlier advice & suggestions!

    @drumlins Can you please check to see if you have the ANSYSLI_ELASTIC environment variable set? If so, please delete it.

    Please follow these steps.

    1. Right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
    2. Go to the Advanced system settings tab.
    3. Click the Environment Variables button. The Environment Variables dialog opens.
    4. Look for the environment variable ANSYSLI_ELASTIC and if found delete it.
    5. Select the environment variable you want to delete and click Delete.
    6. Click OK.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Hello Matt,

    Thanks for the advice. I've checked but there was no environmental variable by the name of ANSYSLI_ELASTIC.

    Regards,

    @drumlins Please open a Windows command prompt and enter the command "set" without the quotes and send the full output.


    Thanks

    @drumlins Please try renaming each of these three directories by adding .OLD at the end.

    %APPDATA%\Ansys\v195

    %APPDATA%\SpaceClaim

    %LOCALAPPDATA%\SpaceClaim

    OK, that's done now and I've tried again with SpaceClaim but I'm still getting the same error message.

    Hey @drumlins I'm also facing the same issue. You told that you updated the student.lic file right. Can u tell what exactly you mean by updating it and how to do it step by step?

    Eagerly waiting for your answer

    Thanks
