Solution
- Double check that you have all the necessary firewall rules already in place, Add Firewall Exceptions for Ansys License Manager - SimuTech (simutechgroup.com)
- Inspect the Windows C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file for errors or unnecessarily specified hosts. Place a # at the beginning of the offending line - this will cause the line to be ignored without losing the information. Though the IP address 127.0.0.1 shows up in Ansys diagnostic logs, it does not need to be added in any configuration:
- Inspect C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\Ansyslmd.ini for any errors, HOW TO - Verify Specified License Servers Manually (ansyslmd.ini). The additional line in the example below should be deleted:
