I have also checked the recommended Intel MPI version for the Ansys version and the correct one (2021.8.0) is installed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The whole C: drive is shared both on Computer 1 and Computer 2. Credentials were registered from both sides.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The problem is that I can&#8217;t run fluent using both computers&#8217; resources. I can run Fluent from Computer 1 using Computer 2&#8217;s resources and back, but when I specify to run 4 cores on Computer 1 and 4 cores on computer 2 then I get an error message (see attached photo). It does not matter how many cores I specifiy, there is a problem when I would like to use both computer&#8217;s resources. Individually they work well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you in advance for any suggestion that can solve this!&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;<img decoding=\"async\"
