License types

There are two types of academic licenses for Ansys software: teaching and research.

The teaching license can only be used for class work. It has limitations on the number of nodes and elements that can be defined in a problem/job. You can't use the teaching license for research.

The research license is only to be used for non-proprietary analysis. Licensee and its contract users must be, or be affiliated, with an academic facility. Licensee may additionally permit individuals who are students at such academic facility to access and use the program(s). Such students will be considered contract users of licensee. The program(s) may not be used for competitive analysis (such as benchmarking) or for any commercial activity, including consulting.

Who may use it?

All research licenses are limited to research groups that have purchased their own licenses. To get pricing and other information, please send email to software@ecn.purdue.edu

Multiprocessing

Using Ansys on computers with multiple CPU cores and on HPC clusters is supported. Starting with Ansys version 16 (Feb 2015) a single license will let a job run on up to 16 CPU cores. To utilize more CPU cores than that, you will need to buy Ansys HPC licenses (one HPC license for each CPU core >16 you want to use.)

Type in a few keywords describing what information you are looking for in the text box below.

Admin Options: Edit this Document

Starting in 2021, ANSYS began issuing new licenses for their academic customers. Unfortunately, the names of the new licenses do not match the previous names, which means that once the new licenses are installed on the license server, users must reconfigure their ANSYS clients to use the new default license names. This is actually pretty simple to do.

Open the ANSYS Client Licensing Admin Utility

The example below uses version 17.x. You will need to adjust the selection according to the version you are running.
On the Client/Workstation:
First close all ANSYS programs, be sure to save any data you’ve been working on if necessary
For WINDOWS please select – Start /All Programs /ANSYS v17.X / ANSYS Client Licensing / Client ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility.
or click type “Client ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility 17.x” in windows search and launch the utility. Note that you should see a different version of the ANSLIC_ADMIN utility for each version of ANSYS installed on your system.
For LINUX – /ansys_inc/shared_files/licensing/lic_admin/anslic_admin

Click the button labeled Select License Preferences for User xxxxxx. Where ‘xxxxxx’ is your username. This will open the next selection screen.

Select the ANSYS Product Release

Select the release of ANSYS you wish to apply these settings to. You will normally select the ANSYS product release number you are currently running. In the example below, we’ve selected 2020 R1 since that is the version we have installed.

After you click the OK button, you will get the first screen of license preferences settings.

Set License Preferences for Each Category of Licenses

On the License Preferences screen, licenses are grouped into four categories: Solver, PrepPost, Geometry, and HPC. You will need to set similar preferences for each category. The Solver license pane is show below.
