  I am using Ansys R1 version now, I find that I could equip LS-dyna in the ACT extension part. After I equip it, I could find the icon of LS-dyna in my "Toolbox Customization", however, I cannot find it in the "Toolbox", I put a screenshot in this post. It is free to use LS-dyna in R1? Cause I am not sure do I have the license or not. Thank you.

  The LS-Dyna extension is a built-in ACT extension in Workbench. However, you don't have the license to run it if you are using Student (free) version.
  
  Thanks,

  How to check it is a student version or not of my Ansys? I only find a R1 icon in the start page of the analysis system.

  What installation package that you used to install the software ? That would tell whether you are using Student (free) version or Academic (paid) version.
  
  Or open User License Preferences GUI (whether from Windows or from Workbench -> Tools) , then see what licenses you have in the list.

  Unfortunately, those licenses don't allow the use of LS-Dyna extension either. You need one of the followings:

  Sorry about that.
  
  Please reach out to your ANSYS Account Manager. They might be able to provide you a temp key or evaluation key for it.
  
  Thanks,

  No, the Student license at 2020 R2 does not include LS-DYNA either.n

  It may be in the installer or product list, that doesn't necessarily mean you have a licence for it. nhttps://forum.ansys.com/discussion/22041/ansys-ls-dyna-student-faqs#latestn
