Hi,<\/span><\/p>\n

We are trying to run Ansys fluent on our Linux HPC environment but facing issue connecting to the license server. The license server is reachable through telnet from the client machine . <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve set licensing file environment variable as per Ansys documentation from below link.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

export ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE=<port@license server><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

We are running Fluent as below per the Ansys docs.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

$ .\/fluent -g 2d<\/span><\/p>\n

Connected License Server List:               <Shared_Web_License_Server><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Unexpected license problem; exiting.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Hit return to exit.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

As per the above output, it doesn’t show any license server. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Do we have to provide any additional licensing information apart from exporting the environment variable at client machine where the linux version is installed..?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/span><\/p>\n
