      Hello,

      I've gone through the whole forum trying to figure out this error message, and, unfortunately, cannot.

      I'm getting the following error message when trying to start ansysedt.

      Failover feature 'ANSYS electronics_desktop' is not available.

      Request name electronics_desktop does not exist in the licensing pool.

      No such feature exists.

      Feature

      electronics_desktop

      What is the full content of your license file. It could be that you have the new PPE Licenses.
      You can add the following switch to the command line to start using the PPE licenses:
      -UseElectronicsPPE

      Thank you for responding.
      Should I copy/paste my ansyslmd.lic file here? Sorry, just want to make sure it's secure.
      Also, license manager is up and running:
      Licensing Interconnect: running
      Licensing Interconnect Monitor: running
      FLexNet Licensing: running
      Both license server and clients are running on Linux.
      Just in case, here is diagnostics:

      Also, -UseElectronicsPPE option didn't make a difference. Sorry I forgot to include that information.

      You can post just the increment names.
      What is returned when you run:
      AnsysEM21.1/Linux64/mechanical/shared_files/licensing/linux64/lmutil lmstat -a -c 1055@licenceserver.edu
      Also, any errors in the license.log on the license server?
      Default path would be: /ansys_inc/shared_files/licensing/license.log
      Just an FYI:
      VENDOR ansyslmd 1056 should be VENDOR ansyslmd PORT=1056 if you want to use static port 1056.

      We are not permitted to open any files.
      Look at the top of your license file. There will be a list of products.
      can you paste that list here. by the log errors, It does not seem that you have any Electronic Suite licenses
