Looking at the file, I see that it shows the 2 LS-DYNA entitlements that will expire in early Nov, and 2 that will expire a year after that.<\/p>\n<p>I then, as I always have, gave the license file to our license host admins and asked them to do their voodoo magic and update the license on the host.<\/p>\n<p>Now that it is &quot;done&quot;, however, I see 2 things:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I see that when I run LS-DYNA, it is warning me that one or more licenses will expire in 8 days.<\/li>\n<li>I see on the Leases page of the licensing portal that the 2 LS-DYNA entitlements are still under Inactive Entitlements, with a start date of early Nov.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Was the update on the license host done correctly? If not, what should I be seeing when I run LS-DYNA, and on the Leases page. Is there an instruction document somewhere I can give our license host admins so they can verify they did the update procedure correctly?<\/p>\n<p>All of this (clients, and license hosts) are RedHat Linux, btw.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks,<\/p>\n<p>Rob<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-163496","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-licensing","topic-tag-ls-dyna"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_old_reply_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_reply_anonymous_id":["false"],"_btv_view_count":["252"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["243810"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["163496"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_engagement":["197","199","169399"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["4"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["196134"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["196134"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-11-01 13:54:34"]},"test":"robgics"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/163496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/163496\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
