Cannot find a license file

      I am trying to install 2022 R2, but I can not find a license file to load in the license management centre. Even the suggested folder in the web,

      "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\license_files"

      does not work. It shows the error, "Did not upload file - Error: A correctly-formatted VENDOR line was not found in the license file"

      What should I do?

      Hi Aashna,

      Can you please share the screenshot of the error and license file which you are trying to upload?

      Sure, the error image and the license files are attached. 

      Also, someone told me that we don't need to install a license manager on our computer because it is installed on a different computer through which everyone else in the university has access to the software. I don't know. I have tried uploading all the possible files with the term 'license' in the name, but nothing seems to work

      .

      Hi Aashna,

      As observed from the screenshot, you are receiving -39 error, which means you are not INCLUDE in the options file. Contact your server admin/ IT admin to add you to the options file.
