ERROR - "Ansys BladeModeler" Not Available When Opening DesignModeler

Authored by Nick Heberle May 23rd, 2022 164 views 0 likes KB1334793

Error

When opening DesignModeler, users receive an error that the licensed number of users has already been reached.

Failover feature 'Ansys BladeModeler' is not available.
Insufficient ANSYS BladeModeler licenses available.
License number of users already reached.
Feature: acfx_bldmdlr
License path:
FlexNet Licensing Error: -4,132

Description/Cause

By default, DesignModeler will use the Ansys BladeModeler license if it is available on the license server.  If someone else is using the license increment, it will not failover to another license increment.

Solution

Disable BladeModeler Licensing for Single Client

If BladeModeler is available on your license server, but want to use a different license increment that support DesignModeler, you can configure DesignModeler to not use BladeModeler licensing:

  1. In DesignModeler, click on Tools > Options
  2. Expand the Design Modeler section and select Addins
  3. Change BladeModeler Licensing to No
  4. Click OK to save the change
Delete

Prevent Users From Using BladeModeler License with an Options File

  1. Create an options file on your license server‍ 
  2. To prevent all users from accessing the BladeModeler license, use an EXCLUDE_ALL statement
    EXCLUDE_ALL acfx_bldmdlr
  3. To allow a portion of users to access the BladeModeler license while denying all others, define a GROUP and use the INCLUDE statement
    GROUP GROUP_NAME Member1 Member2 Member3
    INCLUDE acfx_bldmdlr GROUP_NAME
  4. Save the options file and restart the license server for the options file to take effect.

Delete
