When trying to run a simulation, I get an error saying there was an issue with the flexnet publisher. I figured this may be an issue with some of the old licensing files from the previous version not properly being erased so i installed it onto my laptop instead which has never had ansys and it worked just fine. Is there any solution to this? My next step&nbsp; would be to install windows again to completely wipe my drive and any hidden files that may be lingering from the previous install. Also I recieved 2 different whybad parameters after running the license manager as administrator. Before running it, it showed whybad = -5 and after it shows why bad = -88309.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Any help is appreciated!
