  Why the ANSYS AIM become Discovery AIM? Aren't they different products? or they're completely same products?

  Hello Kin
  
  The only difference is the licensing. ANSYS AIM Pro uses a floating network license and Discovery AIM uses a subscription license, but otherwise the capabilities of the two products are the same.

    Hi Naresh Patre
    
    do both AIM versions use hpc licenses the same way if there is a local flexlm with hpc license available?

    Marc Vidal HPC packs cannot be used with Discovery AIM currently. We thank you for sharing your feedback. We will share your idea/input with the product development team.
