  Hello,
  My university is still using ANSYS 18.1 in our labs, and sometimes also ANSYS 2020.
  I would like to install the same version on my personal computer for study purposes.
  Could you please provide me with the official download link for ANSYS Student 18.1 or 2020 (whichever is available)?
  
  Thank you in advance.

  No, neither are available with Student licences. We only provide current and two prior releases.

  How can you extend the license duration for prior releases?

  You don't. Student has a built in licence. The full versions behave differently and have a separate licence manager and key.

    Which has nothing to do with the main thread. Please post in the Mechanical/Structures channel.
