We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

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.
