Hi Emery,
On the License Server Machine
- Can you go to “C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\license_files” and open ansyslmd.lic in notepad.
- In the license file, just add PORT=1056 and save it

- Goto Start > Ansys, Inc. License Manager > Ansys License Management Center
- Click on View Status/Start/Stop License Manager and Restart the License Manager.
- Ask the user to run the application again.
Also, remember to add 1056 port in outbound/inbound rules on clients as well as the server end.
