  Hi,
  I'm trying to use the student version of ANSYS Electronics with Qiskit Metal, and have been largely unsuccesful in doing so. There seems to be no way to establish a communication link between the python APIs in the pyEPR package and ANSYS Electronics Desktop student.
  I'm wondering if there is a way to figure out the CLSID of the application(I can't see it in the register keys), which may help in working around this issue. Of course, any other suggestions would be welcome.
  Thank you.

  Hi Parth COM is not enabled for Student Version of Ansys Electronics Desktop. Therefore you won't be able to run qiskit-metal with student version as of now. This is one of the limitations of the student version.
  Thanks.

  Hi Zeba,
  Is COM disabled for Ansys Teaching License too?
