Hi Alex,


So, this 137.52.200.179 is your local machine ? i.e., you are hosting licenses on your own machine ? 


If so and if there is no others pulling licenses from this machine, you can use the following trick to avoid any networking issue


#########


Make sure all ANSYS applications are closed.


Open up the ANSYS License Management Center > click Stop


Launch the Client ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility v### with "run as administrator" -> Specify the License Server Machine -> Highlight the row in the box that you are specifying your hostname -> Edit Server Machine Specification -> in the Hostname 1 box , type 127.0.0.1 -> OK 


Then, modify the content of the installed license file(s), which are those that end with .lic under (default) C:Program FilesANSYS IncShared FilesLicensinglicense_files , so that the SERVER line of each .lic file is using 127.0.0.1 instead of your IP address 


From ANSYS License Management Center > click Start

Thanks,
Win
