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,

It should not ask for license for student free version, please check if you have ansyslmd.ini file under C:\Program Files\Ansys_Inc\Shared Files\Licensing. If yes then rename/delete it to ansyslmd.ini.old.
