Adding Elastic License Credentials to Client License Settings
- Obtain the JSON file from your Ansys Support Coordinator or Portal Administrator.
- On the client PC > Windows Search > search for ANSYS License Settings > right click ANSYS License Settings and select Run as Administrator. (Not running as Administrator may result in only the current user being configured for elastic licensing or an error saving.)
Note: License Settings for Electronics is located in C:\Program Files\AnsysEM\vxxx\Win64\licensingclient\winx64. Vxxx is the version you are attempting to use.
