  3. I am working on Linux and Ensight is not readiing my ANSYS licences. Instead, it is looking for a slim8.key. Is there a way to force Ensight products ANSYS licenses such as ensight_enterprise?

      You can force EnSight to use the ANSYS licensing system by setting the environmental variable: setenv ENSIGHT10_LM=ansys This will make EnSight work with ANSYS FlexLM instead of slim8. (if you want to force EnSight to use slim8, set ENSIGHT10_LM to be “slim”).
