I'm trying to run mechanical jobs in the background on my local windows machine to start and eventually on a linux cluster. My understanding is that I have 1 general Ansys license and 12 HPC licenses available to use. My assumption is that that 1 HPC license is used per core on a remote/background job. I have tried solving my mechanical job both from workbench and from within mechanical using the Remote Solve Manager in both cases I get a license error and queued job fails. screen shots of the settup are attached

Hello,

*Note: You can not Leave Mechanical open if you just have 1 “ansys” license.
On the Workbench page, go to Tools->Options->Mechanical

Verify that Release license for Pending Jobs is set to: “ALWAYS”

Open Mechanical and Edit the Solve Process settings for My Computer Background
File->Solve Process Settings.
Highlight My Computer Background and choose “Advanced”

Check the following.

Click OK and then exit all the way out of Mechanical.
Now try to Update.
