  I think that license is OK because of that: So now, how do I launch discovery ?

  Hello jean-davy
  
  The image shows that the subscription license has been successfully activated. Click the Windows button and go to Ansys 2020 R2 version (or the version which you have installed) and click Discovery application. Let me know if you face any issue.

  I do not see anything like "Ansys 2020 R2 version" where I have to go. ANSYS discovery look to be installed: But how to launch it ? In other words what is the name of the executable file, where is it located ?

  Hello jean-davy The image shows that Discovery is installed on your machine. Click the Windows button located at the bottom left corner of your screen, then go to "ANSYS 2020 R2" folder and click "Discovery 2020 R2" to launch the application. See below snapshot for reference.

  OK, but I do not have any "Discovery 2020 R2" item: If you could give me the name of the executable file, I will create a shortcut.

  Hello jean-davy
  
  It's strange that Discovery is not listed! Do you recall whether Discovery was selected under the list of products during installation?
  
  The executable name is Discovery.exe and is located at C:Program FilesANSYS Incv202Discovery
