ansys 12.1 license error
 

Hello,

I installed ansys 12.1 and its license manager to vista laptop. afterwards, i adapted the license file with my host name and flex id. when i try to run license wizard, i get "access denied", 3 times after i hit continue button. and the status are still :

ANSYS, Inc. License Manager status:
Licensing Interconnect: not running
Licensing Interconnect Monitor: not running
FLEXlm: not running

does anyone have an idea what might be the problem?

Heya

start the ANSYS License Client Admin Utility.
Go to " Set License Preferences for User ***** "
and then set Global Settings to "Use Academic Licenses"

guess you are a student...does it works ?

Hi Daniel,

I just tried that, first it asked if i wish to set 12.0.1 0r 12.1, i chose 12.1.
but then i got "failed to retrieve license preferences. please be sure that you are able to connect the license server"

i am a master student and working as well. i ll use it for training purposes at home.

then may you have to be connected with your unversity for example with VPN all the time to have the right proxy server and the use academic license.

otherwise i dont know

i dont have internet connection all the time at home, but thanks though.

You can't do this. The INCREMENT lines in the license file are created for a particular machine.

You will either need network access to the actual license server to check out licenses, or you will need to look into license borrowing.
