I have recently installed ansys on my laptop and I am facing some issues connecting to the license server. I have attached some pictures of the same. I am also unable to access the analysis systems in the workbench. 

I am using the academic version for which I used the hostname as : 172.16.28.104

If you open a dos command propmt from your machine and type in the following:
ping DESKTOP-4B67AV2
Does it return an error?
C:\Users>ping DESKTOP-4B67AV2
Ping request could not find host DESKTOP-4B67AV2. Please check the name and try again.

This as a network issue.

You can edit your hosts file on your machine (c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add:
172.16.28.104    DESKTOP-4B67AV2

 

This is assuming the License server's hostname is:
DESKTOP-4B67AV2
And the ip address for the license server is:
172.16.28.104

After saving the hosts file (make sure there is not .txt added to the filename),
try pinging it again.

If it is successful, try running.

If not, please send me the error.

same error again. 

the hosts file contained the following after i edited it.

# Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.

#

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

#

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a ‘#’ symbol.

#

# For example:

#

#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server

#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

 

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

# 127.0.0.1       localhost

# ::1             localhost

# 172.16.28.104 DESKTOP-4B67AV2
