ANSYS 2024 R2 Student License Manager Error

    • Mike

      None of the ANSYS Student 2024 R2 product works for me. Browsed through the forum and noticed a number of us are having the same issue. Appreciate if anyone can help to resolve this.

      • Workbench - Error with unknown reasons
      • Mechanical - Unknown error, can only use in read-only mode
      • Discovery - License Manager Error, can only use in read-only mode
      • Space Claim - License Manager Error, can only use in read-only mode

      What I've tried:

      • Installed with admin access. Uninstalled and re-installed multiple times and it still didn't work.
      • Installation package downloaded from the correct source (https://www.ansys.com/academic/students/ansys-student). Deleted old package and re-download didn't help either.
      • I've checked and delete the 'ansyslmd.ini' in the licensing folder.

      Hi Mike,

      Check your event logs for error, goto start menu> event viewer> Windows logs> Application log.

      Hi Rajeshwari,

      I started Workbench/Discovery a few times but I don't see any error log generated immediately. Anyway, here are some error logs recorded yesterday for AnsysWBU and Discovery:

      Seems like something is wrong with the free student license, here is the error message from Fluent:

      Could anyone from Ansys provide an update on the student license issue? There are several threads discussing this problem, but so far, there hasn't been a solution from Ansys.
