Hi everyone.

I am a college student who urgently needs a Zemax license to complete an assignment. My old license has expired so I applied for the free trial two days ago. However, no one from the Ansys team has reached out to me even though it was confirmed in mail that they would.

Any advice or insights are appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Abhijith Dileepkumar, 

Please reach out to your Ansys Account Manager or the channel partner/rep that you were in contact with when you purchased the license.

Otherwise, a 7 day evaluation license can be requested through the Ansys Optics/Lumerical Launcher.

I had a similar issue when installing Zemax a while back. One thing that helped me was ensuring all system requirements were met and that I was running the latest version of the software. Sometimes, installation errors can be related to outdated components. If you’re also doing research that involves complex optical simulations, you might find it useful to check out this resource on writing a systematic review: https://literaturereviewwritingservice.com/help-with-writing-a-systematic-review/ It helped me organize my data and streamline my research. After troubleshooting the installation, I'd also recommend checking your permissions and running the installer as an admin.
