Hello,

I've encounted an error that says "Cannot switch mode due to license unavailability or licensing error" when I'm trying to go to "Switch to Solution" after i've completed the mesh.

[Rob]

Please can you check the cell count, and if there is another solver running on your PC. 

[Muhamad Faiz]

How to check for the cell count and to know if there's other solver running?

[Rob]

When meshing is complete there ought to be a message in the TUI. Re the solver, what else is running? 

 

[Muhamad Faiz]

Btw, fyi I also can't access the Solution from the Fluent Launcher. After I press start the curser loads for a very long time 

[Rob]

OK. If you reboot do you still have the problem? If so please expand the Console (TUI) window and post the screenshot(s). 

[Muhamad Faiz]

I can't close the Window, it hangs. I need to end the programme from the task manager

[Rob]

OK, and what's the text above what you posted? That's following a problem, what comes before may show what that problem is. How did the reboot go?

Hello Muhamad,

When installing, did you right-click on setup.exe and choose: more->run as administrator? If not, can you do so?

Are there any errors, listed in the following file:
C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\ANSYS Student\install.log

[George Karnos]

Also,

If you look under %TEMP%\.ansys You will see log and out files.

Do those list any errors?

Update: Problem solved due to lowering the number of processors to 4.

Thank You for the Update!
