When I installed our Ansys free student version, it was saying we had no license. I have since gotten my account fully set up with my customer number, but in license manager it says I don't have a license associated with my account and we still can't use the software. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Ansys Student version doesn't need license file nor license manager, delete the ansyslmd.ini file "C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\ANSYS Student\Shared Files\licensing" if it exists.

Hi,

I am having similar issue. I deleted this file but when I run Fluent, I get an error saying "Unable to spawn node: license not available.". I have run Mechanical and it worked fine, but Fluent will not work

How are you launching it, you can use only 4 cores in student version.
Can you share your launcher's screenshot?

Oh okay. I was told by my professor to use the amount I have on my laptop. I had 14 entered. Let me try it with only 4

Yep, that fixed it, thank you so much!
