Hello Kyle,
I don't think you are using the free Ansys software are you? If so, this post is in the wrong channel.
You are getting the following error message:
ERROR: the host id(s) of this machine ( 7D76C756 4699DD69 )
not found in the license file C:\LSDYNA2024\server_data
Â
This means that the host ID of the LSTC licence server does not match the host ID in the LSTC license file (server_data). The entire strings of characters must match in the SERVER lines of both the LSTC_SERVER_INFO generated on the license server and the server_data files (not just the first few characters must match, but all of them).
So, either you are trying to use the license file (server_data) on a different license server, or the host ID of the license server as changed. This can happen, especially if the license server is a virtual machine.
You will need a new LSTC license file. Generate the LSTC_SERVER_INFO file on the license server and send this file to your Ansys account manager to get a new license file. You will find the procedure for Windows here:

Let me know how it goes.
