*This example was taken from this version but is not necessarily limited to this version.

Description/Cause

Potential Causes:

1. The client software is running newer version of Ansys than the License Manager is.  The License Manager version should always be the same or newer than any client software.
2. In this case, the license file was manually modified to point to a customer ansyslm.exe file and that file was outdated. Example:
   
   SERVER SERVERNAME DISK_SERIAL_NUM=1234567890
VENDOR ansyslmd C:\SERVERNAME\IcePak\ansyslmd.exe
USE_SERVER
