  2. Locate the ncpref.exe > right click and select Run as Administrator
  3. In ncpref expand Libraries in the left pane > select Licensing
  4. In the right pane, expand the ANSYSPre2020R2Packages entry and double-click the Global item
  5. In the dialog box that opens, set the Value to True and click OK
  6. Close ncpref.exe
