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.

FYI - to everyone having this issue.  ANSYS sent me a replacement file Ans.Core.Components.dll and it fixed the problem.  It sounds like there's a software bug.  Unfortunately, it hasn't been released in their service packs.
