Hello Emery, 

Starting 2021R1, Ansys no longer uses the Licensing Interconnect service. It was present in older versions but is entirely removed for Ansys 2024R1 applications. 

Did you get a chance to use the 'SERVER=port@server' variable in the 'C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\ansyslmd.ini' file?
You can also use 'ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE=port@servername' as the system environment variable. 

I hope this helps.
