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.

Hi Ali,

The ANSYS LMC will recognize all files as being "license" files -- in the "license_files" folder with the ".lic" extension.

Please do the following:
1. Stop the license server in the ANSYS License Management Center "LMC"
2. rename  "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\license_files\Ansys_license_454904_6a1acaf3.lic"   to   "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\license_files\Ansys_license_454904_6a1acaf3.lic_OLD"
3. Open the license file sent to you in MS Wordpad - after opening, select all and copy to clipboard
4. Create a new file in Notepad - paste the clipboad - save as newlicense.txt
5. Try installing the newlicense.txt  file you created in Notepad -- using the ANSYS LMC.

Does that result in  "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\license_files\ansyslmd.lic"?
Does that resolve the issue?

thanks
Randy
