I have the same problem despite downloading the 2020R2 version and copying over the license file from that one to 2021R1, which is what was suggested here. Any help would be appreciated.
@Max24 @fitzgerald08 Can you look at the C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\ANSYS Student\Shared Files\Licensing\student.lic file and see what date shows in the INCREMENT lines? The 2020R2 license should be valid through 31-jul-2021.
@mmadore Did you mean this Date modified? If yes then the date is 27/04/2020.
It is indeed valid until 31-jul-2021, but whenever I open the software it tells me "WARNING: License for fluent will expire in x days. Please contact your distributor for renewal". Today x is 13, yesterday it was 14 etc
The license is valid, so I suspect the message to be some bug. I'm looking into the status of the 2021R1 updated license.
Hi, I can confirm I have the exact same issue,

I followed the procedure listed here: https://forum.ansys.com/discussion/19805/how-to-renew-ansys-student-product-license
(Previously I didn't have any license at all in the C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\ANSYS Student\Shared Files\Licensing path)
My version is also 2021-R1
