Cannot open 2024 R2 Mechanical APDL student version

      I recently had issues with the student version of Ansys on multiple laptops and I encountered the same error on 1 or 2 computers with the standard Ansys install. When I open the software I get the error for a port argument (refer to picture). I also noticed its not just this software, its the entire student package. After reading online and I found the following:

       

      1) go into c:\windows\system32\.ansys and change the name of the duplicate file (it also mentioned to look for a duplicate libiomp5...dll file in multiple locations but could not find that either)

      • went to location but there was no duplicate

      2) go to logs location indicated in the error and read the details of error

      • went to said location and there were no error logs

      3) uninstalled and reinstalled

      • same issues

      4) check computer specs to see if there are issues

      • everything is in range

      5) did computer updates

       

      anyone have advice since I noticed this seems to be a recuring issues with 2019-current software?

      Hi,
      Recommend to check firewall.
      Verify that Firewall or virus software is not blocking software.
