What’s the difference between Granta EduPack and Granta EduPack Classic?

For a limited time, we’re continuing support of legacy CES EduPack license models with Granta EduPack Classic and Granta EduPack Introductory Classic. The Classic and Flex-enabled versions of Granta EduPack are identical; only the licensing and installation process differ. Classic is only available to existing customers who need more time to switch over to the server-based, Flex-enabled licensing model. If you think your institution falls into this category, please email the team at granta-education-team@ansys.com for more information.
