hfsshpc vs hfsshpc_pack license

  We tried to run HFSS jobs with 28 cores by
  
  /usr/local/ansys/18.1/v181/AnsysEM/AnsysEM18.1/Linux64/ansysedt -distributed -ng -batchoptions "HFSS/HPCLicenseType=Pool" -machinelist num=28 -batchsolve TEST_Simple.aedt
  
  We used "HFSS/HPCLicenseType=Pool" because we know that we have hfsshpc, but not hfsshpc_pack.
  
  But, we got the errors as following:
  
  [error] Project:TEST_Simple, Design:2D_new_no_66mohms (Transient, XY), Failed to check out license 'hfsshpc_pack'
  
  The question is how we can run the job using 'hfsshpc' instead of 'hfsshpc_pack'?
  
  Thank you so much!

  Hello Heechang,
  
  Can you modify the command to use:
  
  /usr/local/ansys/18.1/v181/AnsysEM/AnsysEM18.1/Linux64/ansysedt -distributed -ng -batchoptions " 'HFSS/HPCLicenseType'='pool' " -machinelist num=28 -batchsolve TEST_Simple.aedt
  
  Thank you,
  Matt

  Hi Matt,
  
  Thank you for the suggestion. But, it gives the same errors.
  
  [error] Project:TEST_Simple, Design:2D_new_no_66mohms (Transient, XY), Failed to check out license 'hfsshpc_pack'.
  License server does not support this license (FLEXlm Error -18) -- Simulating on machine: o0202 (1204 PM Mar 11, 2019)
  [error] Project:TEST_Simple, Design:2D_new_no_66mohms (Transient, XY), Simulation was terminated by license error. (1204 PM Mar 11, 2019)
  Stopping Batch Run: 1205 PM Mar 11, 2019
  
  And, it is working just fine with one core.
  
  Please let me know if you need any other information.
  
  Thanks.

  Is this an HFSS project? Please make sure to use the proper project type for the batch options. Also modify the order of the command.
  
  /usr/local/ansys/18.1/v181/AnsysEM/AnsysEM18.1/Linux64/ansysedt -distributed -machinelist num=28 -ng -batchoptions " 'HFSS/HPCLicenseType'='pool' " -batchsolve TEST_Simple.aedt
  
  'HFSS 3D Layout Design/HPCLicenseType'='Pool'
  
  'HFSS-IE/HPCLicenseType'='Pool'
  
  'HFSS/HPCLicenseType'='Pool'
  
  'Maxwell 2D/HPCLicenseType'='Pool'
  
  'Maxwell 3D/HPCLicenseType'='Pool'
  
  'Q3D Extractor/HPCLicenseType'='Pool'
  
  Thank you,

  Hi Matt,
  
  Thank you so much! It worked with 'Maxwell 2D/HPCLicenseType'='Pool'.
  
  This solves the issue.
  
  Thanks, again.
