Academic research LS-DYNA only works with NCPU = 1?

  My university has academic research LS-DYNA license, but I found this academic research LS-DYNA only allows for NCPU = 1.
  I tried with a higher # of NCPU for faster simulation, but LS-RUN does not work for any NCPU higher than 2 (as attached).
  Considering even the student version works with NCPU up to 4, it is quite strange.
  I checked the license from the Help menu and found the license is Free (as also shown in the attached).
  Am I using the correct license? Would you please shed some light?

  If you choose License from the top menu, what is displayed? Example:
  Do you have the Environment variable set:
  Variable:LSTC_LICENSE
  Variable Value: ANSYS

  Thank you. Please see attached below.
  The Environment variable was set as advised, but my LS-DYNA still does not work with NCPU higher than 1.

  There are no LS-DYNA Parallel licenses displayed.
  This means the license server is not serving any hpc licenses.
