Hi everyone,

I am trying to switch between using two different licenses installed on my machine. Even if i move the license i am trying to use above the other in the license manager, when i open workbench, the analysis systems section isn't showing anything that should be included in license I am trying to use. 

note for the image: i am trying to use the netapp01.olin.edu because that is a full student license, the other license is one that was given to me with just the fluid dynamics components of workbench with the corporate element/node settings because the fluids project I was working on was hitting the student limit

Hi kianraissian,

Open CMD Prompt, then issue the following command (change the version accordingly)

"%awp_root194%..shared fileslicensingwinx64ansysli_util" -statli 2325@NETAPP01.olin.edu

then post the output here.

Thanks,

Win

I'm confused, where in that command do I put the version of ansys that I have installed?

 

[tsiriaks]

The '194'.

Here is the mapping.

2019 R2  -> 194

2019 R1  -> 193

19.2         -> 192

19.1         -> 191

so on.

Thanks,

Win

you have some issue connecting to that license server.

1. Make sure the license server on there is up and serving licenses just fine.

2. Test your network communications with that license server machine by using 'telnet' . You can turn it on by typing Windows features in "Search Windows" tool box , then look for "Turns Windows features on or off" and launch this. Then, scroll down to the bottom and check "Telnet Client" > OK

Open CMD Prompt then issue the following command

telnet NETAPP01.olin.edu 2325

does this fail ?

What about

telnet NETAPP01.olin.edu 1055

Consult with your IT if you have issue with network communications

Thanks,

Win
