Hi all,

I have troubles with Ansys Mechanycal R2 2020 student edition. When I try to run, this message occures:

 ANSYS Mechanical Enterprise                      

 *** IMPORTANT LICENSING MESSAGE ***

 ANSYS LICENSE MANAGER ERROR:

How can I fix it?

I see that you are selecting to use a GPU.
Choose None for GPU as that would need an extra hpc license and Free student is limited to 4.
