  1. Open command prompt as administrator.
  2. Cd to the gmid.exe directory.
  3. Run the gmid.exe program:

 

4. Copy all the output text to a text editor and replace "MACHINE" for "SERVER". Here is the example for my machine:

5. Save the text file as LSTC_SERVER_INFO and send it to your Ansys account manager to cut the key.

 

Let me know how it goes.
