  I have the same problem despite downloading the 2020R2 version and copying over the license file from that one to 2021R1, which is what was suggested here. Any help would be appreciated.n

  Array Array Can you look at the C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\ANSYS Student\Shared Files\Licensing\student.lic file and see what date shows in the INCREMENT lines? The 2020R2 license should be valid through 31-jul-2021.nn

  It is indeed valid until 31-jul-2021, but whenever I open the software it tells me 'WARNING: License for fluent will expire in x days. Please contact your distributor for renewal'. Today x is 13, yesterday it was 14 etc

  The license is valid, so I suspect the message to be some bug. I'm looking into the status of the 2021R1 updated license.nn
