It will always be possible to regain the CATIA license, after successfully reconnecting to the company&#039;s license server via VPN.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Why is Ansys having this extra show?<\/p>\n<p>What is the reason for that? A stuck license? How come? Some kind of address change?<\/p>\n<p>How can one solve this problem? <\/p>\n<p>I mean solve, not bypass by e. g., leaving the Work Station on premise and connect via Remote Desktop. That is not a satisfying solution.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>How can one tell the license server:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Hi, I am back. It is still ME, not someone else! You need identification? Sure! Look, this my ID (MAC-Address?)! I am sure you are satisfied and know I am eligible to regain the license.
