Hi everyone. My student version ansys stopped version. How can I get licensed student version back in working.

You can download 2022R2 and use that. The Student licence is set for one year, beyond that you need to download and install the new version. Student is intended to allow you to learn/use the software away from University, it is not a replacement for the Campus software.

Is there a possibility to extend the licence for Ansys student 2021 R2, as it was possible with previous versions? For example, the Ansys 2020 licence could be used for 2019 by replacing it with the new licence in the corresponding folder. 

[Rob]

21R2 and 22R1 are both available until January 2023. Otherwise, no there's no extension. The licencing was altered at the same time as the parallel core count and increased cell count for Mechanical problems. 

There are new features in 22R1 and R2 so it's always worth updating so you're familiar with the latest release.

Good morning,

I had the same problem. I am currently working on my Master Thesis at TUM on the structural health monitoring of a bridge. I am working with ANSYS and Matlab at the same time and need to use ANSYS as a server of MATLAB. This is unfortunately not possible in the newer versions. I could only do this with the 2021 R1 version of ANSYS. I would like to know if you could either grant me an extended license of this version of ANSYS (90 days would be enough) or if there is a way of using ANSYS as a server of MATLAB with the new versions. 

Thank you very much in advance. This issue is putting my work on my thesis on hold and I would be very grateful for a solution. 

I attach a guide on how to use ANSYS as a server on MATLAB which is currently working in the 2021 R1 version. https://www.ansys.com/blog/how-to-make-matlab-apps-for-ansys

Best regards,

Sofia Artola

In that case you may need to use the University licence. Student is there to allow independent learning, the University licences are for the research work.  In Student the licence is part of the compiled software, in Academic and Commercial versions it's a separate entity.
