We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hello James, 

Can you try the following?

Close all the Ansys applications.

Go to Start>search “Product and CAD Configuration 2023 R1” and run it as admin.

Follow the below steps: (while configuring products and unconfiguring products “select all” option)

  1. Install Required Prerequisites.
  2. Unconfigure Products & CADs.
  3. Configure Products & CADs.

Rename the Ansys folder to Ansys.old (search %appdata% in Windows File Explorer search bar) and .ansys to .ansys.old (%temp%) 

Launch the application again.

Let me know if the above solutions work for you.
