Subject: Re: License Manager in v.5.5

Hello ANSYS users,

My license problem in v. 5.5 has a different spin to it. The MIS dept.
of my facility being on the same side (of a network router) with the
primary -one out of three- license server can run BOTH versions 5.4 AND
5.5.

That tells me that I have the license keys for v. 5.5 which also allow
me to run v. 5.4 . Is this true ?

When I access v. 5.4, from my side of the network (through 2 more
routers), no problem . However, the scheme falls apart when I'll try to
bring v. 5.5 up from the same location and the license manager cannot
find the license servers. I can ping the server and both sides, MIS'
and my W/S go through the same route sequence to access the license on
the server, so the connection is there.
The servers are Unix-based and the workstations are both Unix and WinNT
based.

Is there a fix in Service Pack 1 or newer that can addresses this
problem ?

Thanks for any help on this issue.
