Yes, I used to find this at 5.4. If I was logged on through an ISP I
couldn't start ANSYS, and if I was using ANSYS and went to the ISP I kept
getting license failure messages, although ANSYS did run through them. As
configured at present, (loopback adapter first, LAN adapter second in the
network adapters list), with 5.5 this doesn't appear to be a problem, I have
been able to start 5.5 whilst attached to an ISP.
