  Hi,
  
  I tried to use the connectivity between AIM and WB to transfer the data but it always failed with the error messages like the pictures shown.
  
  It showed that it's the license problem but I do have a Subscription license and a Mechanical License.
  
  What can I do to fix it?
  
  Thank you.

  Hello Kin
  
  The connectivity option between AIM and Workbench is not available with a subscription license, as the Workbench does not currently support a mixed licensing model (subscription for Discovery and floating for Workbench). I would request you to post your suggestion in the Ideas section so that other users can view and vote for it.

    Hi Naresh Patre Here attaches the video from ANSYS R19 Update that made me try the connectivity. The connectivity function showed in the video started from 1:20. And then, I think it could work due to the licenses showed in the video is a subscription for AIM and the other one is floating for Mechanical ( I guessed that because R19 released the only subscription for Discovery AIM). Thank you.

    Hello Kin
    
    This workflow is only possible if you have a Mechanical Enterprise license (which also enables Discovery AIM), or a lower level Mechanical license and an AIM Pro License.

    Hi Naresh Patre
    
    Let me check and know better.
    
    It will work in these conditions below:
    
    1). a Mechanical Enterprise License
    
    2). a Mechanical Enterprise License + ANSYS Discovery AIM License
    
    3). a Mechanical Premium License + ANSYS Discovery AIM License or AIM Pro License
    
    Are those described above correct?
    
    On the other hand, I'd like to know if it will work in the condition:
    
    a Mechanical Pro License + ANSYS Discovery AIM or AIM Pro License?
    
    Thank you.

    Hello Kin
    
    A Mechanical Pro license plus an AIM Pro license will support this connectivity; and a Mechanical Pro license plus a Discovery Ultimate Enterprise will support this connectivity. As long as both the Mechanical and the AIM licenses are floating licenses the connection will be available.

    Hi Naresh Patre
    
    Is this function of connectivity feasible for subscription licenses as well?
    
    Thank you.

    Kin Its currently not possible to use a mix of subscription and floating licenses. You may want to post your suggestion in the Ideas section.
