This has been resolved. I installed the license server in a linux computer and was able to host everything with little to no issues. However, the problem with the windows computer remains. I was able to solve it on the Windows system by doing the following

  1. Remove all services associated with past and present license servers by deleting the "Ansys*" instances at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Services
  2. Reboot the computer
  3. Delete the C:/Program Files/ directory that holds the files of the license manager software
  4. Install the license managare OUTSIDE that of the C:/Program Files/ director. I put it in C:/AnsoftLicense/ and insured there were no spaces in this top level directory
  5. Continue as normal with installing the license file and started the server. 

Point number 4 seems to be where I was having errors. I do not know if this is a general issue or a highly personal one. Either case, this solved my problem. I am now waiting for a port to be opened up to complete be sure. Otherwise, I will run the license on the linux system.Â
