Hi, I have been issued a license by Ansys in a file called 'LSTC_winlic.txt' which I have tried to use without success. It appears to give access to MPPDYNA (Option: Revision 13), MPPDYNA_971 (Option: Revision 6), MPPDYNA_970, MPPDYNA_960, LS-DYNA (Option: Revision 13), LS-DYNA_971 (Option: Revision 6), LS-DYNA_970, and LS-DYNA_960. It lists a key at the bottom and at the top it lists 40-digit SERVER and additional 'Interfaces'. I have tried unsuccessfully to run LS-DYNA of various versions (the key appears to let me use MPP or SMP versions 13 or 6 so I have been trying 13 smp and mpp, but also 12). I have tried running it both from LS-RUN after loading in the license, and from the command line after checking that the two environment variables point to the local license. However I always get the same 'Error Bad license keys!' message in my output/log. I must be missing something? Below is an example output. 

Thanks,

Will Grissom

Hello,

We do not issue node locked licenses anymore; we only issue network licenses. Please set the following environment variable on the client machine:

LSTC_LICENSE=network

 

The "bad keys in the license file" error message can happen for a few reasons:

1. The license file (server_data) was edited in a text editor. This is not allowed. Please make sure you use the original license file sent by Ansys.
2. The license file was modified by the email system (this happens!). The solution is to request that the LSTC license file is sent via Ansys SecureTransfer.
3. You have a license file with "Jobs" and "Added cores" which requires the latest LSTC license manager.
4. The license is used as "node locked".

You can download the latest version of the LSTC License Manager here:

https://ftp.lstc.com/user/Download-Instructions/Job-License-Manager/

username: user

password: computer

 

Here is the LSTC license manager installation procedure for Windows:

https://ftp.lstc.com/user/license/License-Manager/LS-DYNA%20Win%20License%20Server%20installation%20and%20update%20Aug%2026_2.pdf

Here it is for Linux:

https://ftp.lstc.com/user/download-instructions/License-Manager/LSTC_LicenseManager-InstallationGuide.pdf

 

Finally, the following website will have most of the LS-DYNA resources:

https://lsdyna.ansys.com/

 

Let me know how it goes.

 

Reno.
