Subject: License Manager problems in ANSYS
Author: Venkateswarlu Gattineni

Hello All,

Typically we are installing ANSYS on Individual machines
making each machine a license server. This we are doing so because if
multiple licenses are loaded on a single machine and it serves as a server,
in case of system break down nobody could use ANSYS.

Hence My colleagues and my self find lot of problems with
the Flexlm license manager ANSYS is currently using. When the ANSYS run gets
aborted the license does not become free. When you try to invoke the
license manager it says you shall not be able to restart the license manager
since you re not administrator. you got to try many times to get ANSYS
invoked. Most of the times ANSYS says no licenses available and aborts the
session.

Pro/Engineer by PTC uses a similar license manager. But they
use a tool called Pro/Flush. When a run gets aborted, one can run this
application which frees all the unused and frozen lines. May be ANSYS INC.
also should think in those lines and facilitate users to come out of this
embarrassing situation.
