INSTALL ANSYS NODE LICENSE FILE
- Remove any previous license*.txt license files you downloaded.
- Save the license email attachment or download the license file from the Ansys Licensing Portal.
- By default, your browser may save the file to your Downloads directory. The directions assume you are leaving it in the Downloads directory (%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\license*.txt).
- For the purpose of these instructions, assume that the file has been renamed to simply license.txt.
- Should you choose to save the file to a different directory, please make note of that new file location so you can replace the text in quotes in the setx commands below with the new file location.
- Open a command prompt: press the Windows key + R at the same time, enter cmd, and press OK.
- In the command prompt, run the following commands to set appropriate environment variables to point to the license file:
- setx ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\license.txt"
- setx DYNARDO_LICENSE_FILE "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\license.txt"
- setx ESTERELD_LICENSE_FILE "%USERPROFILE%\Downloads\license.txt"
- Verify that the environment variables set in step 5 point to the file you just downloaded.
- Start your Ansys application and verify it starts successfully
