We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Benjamin, 

  1. Make sure that the Ansys license manager is configured for shared license access. See this KB for details >>Configuring the Ansys license manager for shared access – Ansys Optics
  2. And the cluster is on the same network or can/allowed to connect to the machine running the Ansys license manager.
  3. Configure your user on the cluster to use the "License.ini" file. If set correctly, this will take precedence over the ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE variable and the Ansys client licensing settings.  See the KB for details >>Lumerical license configuration from the command line – Ansys Optics
  4. Consult with IT if the cluster is allowed to connect to your server that's hosting the Ansys license manager.
