Reply To: Server1 cannot be empty or contain special characters

[ANSYS_MMadore]

This is only an issue with version 2021R1, with 2021R2 you would be able to change the servername correctly.

With 2021R1, ror a workaround, they will just need to modify their ansyslmd.ini file manually to put the ÔÇô back in after using the settings to add it without the hyphen.

Example: in Settings Utility, specify -DESKTOP123
In ansyslmd.ini ÔÇô modify to:DESKTOP-123

They may need to save a copy of the ansyslmd.ini to the desktop and then replace the copy in C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\Shared Files\Licensing to avoid permissions issues.
