Hello,

 

I’m learning how to use LS-OPT and trying to go through the tutorials, but I’m having a problem with this error that states, “License error: ansys license manager error. Error: could not find any valid license feature for checkout. Please check your licensing.” This is quite strange to me as I am currently using LS-DYNA and running simulations on our license with no problem.

 

Moreover, on the LS Website it states that, "LS-Pre­Post, LS-OPT, and LS-TaSC do not re­quire run­time li­cens­es for use by LST cus­tomers. All LST cus­tomers may down­load, in­stall, and run these pro­grams with­out charge. No li­cense key is re­quired. These prod­ucts are ac­tive­ly de­vel­oped and main­tained by LSTC.”

 

Is anyone able to help me out with this, or know what may be causing this?

 

Thank you in advance!

Grant.

Newer versions of LS-OPT (v2022R1 and up) require a standalone license to run. This license is not related to LS-DYNA. You should be able to run LS-OPT 2022R1 and newer versions, if your Ansys license file (ansyslmd.lic) has optislang_level1 (or _leve2, _level3) increment. 

 

The last free version for LS-DYNA customers was v7.0.2.

Thank you for this. Is there any way I can download v7.0.2 still then? It shows as an option on the download page, however, when I click it this message pops up:

We will update info here soon.
Please contact Ansys customer support for any question.

if you have access to support, could you please create a support case? If you are affiliated to a university, please email lstsupport@ansys.com with your university email address. I may have to check internally before sharing the old version. Even if we can share the builds, I will not be able to share the link here so please create a support case or send us an email. Thank you.
