Hi,

I am using CFX 5.7.1 and the license is due to expire in 30days. Hence everytime I open any of CFX products, an ANSYS license message pops up, stating that the license is due to expire in ...days. The application will only start once I hit the OK button. Now I need to use the solver in batch mode and this wont start until I hit the OK button. The first run will go through as I am present, but what about the others when I am not. Any methods to avoid this message apart from getting the new license?

Regards, Santhosh

Yeah, these messages occur only in M$-Windows. That might exist (at least it should exist) some environment variable that controls such annoying messages but I'm also interested in that.

Hi,

if you have a little experience in programming you can build a small program that periodically looks for Ansys license popup windows and sends them a closure message (you just have to set a timer and to check the names of open windows). Since I don't have Administrator privileges on my computer, I couldn't find an easier way to get rid of those messages.

I hope you'll find it useful...

Thanks,

This problem was solved with the help of Tech Support, just need to add an environment variable and that would get you through to 7 days before the license expires.

And would you share this environment variable with us?

Its,

ANS_FLEXLM_EXPWARN_DAYS = 'days'
