<\/p>\nHi everyone,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am having trouble with my educational Granta Edupack license which was provided by Ansys sales team.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As asked, I have installed Ansys License Manager and tried to load the license file.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
however ansys displayed the message “the hostid in the license file is not a valid hostid for this license server machine”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
for this reason, I went inside the “get system hostid information” section to check if my license file the hostid and compare it with my system hostid.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
as the license hostid did not seem to match my system hostid, I have tried to modfify the text file with each hostid given by the “get system hostid information”. I saved the file in ANSI and tried again.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the license manager was this time able to load the file however the flexnet server wouldn’t start.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
because I thought it could be a problem with my installation, I reinstall windows on a new hard drive and tried again.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I have this time changed the computer name (because of windows fresh install) and also the hostid . I saved it and try to load the license.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
at this point, I realized that my issue could be due to the fact that I was using a “moded license” and probably that could be understand my ansys as a non legit license.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I need this software for my MSc dissertation which I have to end up at the end of this month, a little bit of help would be great ![\"\"](\"\/content\/images\/emoticons\/facebook-smiley-face-for-comments.png\")
