Reply To: Need help to install a ANSYS license on my laptop

Hi Ali,

The ANSYS LMC will recognize all files as being "license" files -- in the "license_files" folder with the ".lic" extension.

Please do the following:
1. Stop the license server in the ANSYS License Management Center "LMC"
2. rename  "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\license_files\Ansys_license_454904_6a1acaf3.lic"   to   "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\license_files\Ansys_license_454904_6a1acaf3.lic_OLD"
3. Open the license file sent to you in MS Wordpad - after opening, select all and copy to clipboard
4. Create a new file in Notepad - paste the clipboad - save as newlicense.txt
5. Try installing the newlicense.txt  file you created in Notepad -- using the ANSYS LMC.

Does that result in  "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\license_files\ansyslmd.lic"?
Does that resolve the issue?

thanks
Randy
