      Are you using the free Student version or Full academic version?
      Under %TEMP%\.ansys, you will see *.out files. Type in %TEMP%\.ansys in address line of Windows File Explorer


      There should exist one for CFD-POST. can you check that file with Notepad and post any errors that it contains?

      Hello My apologies....
      it would have a .out extension on it.
      Please paste the contents as we are not permitted to open any files.

      I have a similar issue. In this case, my CFD-Post tells me that it is unable to check the license. I went to the temp folder and found this:

      I can't find CFD-Post. For reference, I have the student version.
