  Hello,
  I have Academic Research CFD License (5 seats) and I was wondering if I am running a single ansys fluent, what is the maximum cores that can be utilized?
  Thank you very much!

  The licence is for 5 separate solvers, so I suspect it's 5 solvers each with 4 cores parallel. Check as the Academic licence is slightly different to Commercial so you may get 8 parallel as part of the solver licence. If you try and run a job with 20 cores you should get an error with 20/8 or 20/4 or the like, that will tell you the maximum number of cores. However, you may also have HPC packs as it's rare not to have these as part of a licence bundle.
