Hi szhou,

The entitlement can only be activated/hosted on 1 computer/server at any given time (per the licensing agreement). However, the licenses can be shared across users/clients on the local network.

  1. See this KB to configure the Ansys license manager for shared license access:
    >> Ansys license manager configuration and license file installation – Ansys Optics
  2. Make sure that you allow access to the TCP ports used by the Ansys license manager on the 'server':
    >> Adding inbound rules to Windows defender firewall – Ansys Optics
  3. Then configure the client machines to obtain the license from the machine running the Ansys license manager:
    >> Lumerical license configuration with the Ansys Optics Launcher – Ansys Optics 

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.
