      Running the following commands after installation will change default licensing to use legacy license features for AnsysEM2021R2: Linux: $ cd /path/AnsysEM2021.2/Linux64 $ sudo ./UpdateRegistry -set -ProductName ElectronicsDesktop2021.2 -RegistryKey “Desktop/Settings/ProjectOptions/UsePPELicensing” -RegistryValue “0” -RegistryLevel install Windows: Open elevated CMD (rt-click on CMD and “run as admin”) “C:Program FilesAnsysEMAnsysEM21.2Win64UpdateRegistry” -set -ProductName ElectronicsDesktop2021.2 -RegistryKey “Desktop/Settings/ProjectOptions/UsePPELicensing” -RegistryValue “0” -RegistryLevel install This command creates/modifies AnsysEM21.2configdefault.XML and changes the default for the local installation. However, if the user has opened AnsysEM2021R2 and set preferences, they will override the new system defaults. To remove the user preferences, simply close AnsysEM 2021R2 and delete the following folders: Linux: $HOME/Ansoft/ElectronicsDesktop2021.2 $HOME/Ansoft/SIwave2021.2 Windows: %USERPROFILE%DocumentsAnsoftElectronicsDesktop2021.2 %USERPROFILE%DocumentsAnsoftSIwave2021.2 —-
