  I installed ANSYS Workbench 2025 student edition on my laptop and was able to work with it for a few days. Now I am receiving the error : "Workbench could not connect to a valid licensing server. Review your license configuration in the Ansys Licensing Settings application and make sure you are connected to a valid network", as soon as I open Workbench.
  Kindly support me in resolving this at the earliest, since I am unable to complete a student project, due to this issue!!!

  Hi Shriya,
  
  Built in license for 2025Rx is supported till July 2026, can you try to reset the configuration by renaming %appdata% Ansys folder to Ansys.old and %temp% .ansys to .ansys.old
  
  Also, remove any ansyslmd.ini file under C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\ANSYS Student\Shared Files\licensing (if you have any).
