                          HOW TO - Verify the License Manager is Running

                          Authored by Caleb Scharf March 18th, 2024 6934 views 0 likes KB2138384

                          Description

                          This article will show you how to confirm that the Ansys License Manager is up and running. 

                          Solution

                          1. These steps must be performed on the License Manager computer. 
                          2. Open the Ansys License Management Center (Must Right Click & Run as Administrator)
                          3. Select View Status/Start/Stop License Manager > Verify all listed services are running:
                               

                          License Manager 2023R2 Prior 

                          OR

                          License Manger 2024R1 & later if installed on top of/after LM 2023R2 or prior

                          Fresh Installs of License Manager 2024R1*


                          *Fresh installs of 2024R1 do not include the Licensing Interconnect Services that client versions 2020R2 and prior require. Client versions 2021R1 and later do not require the Interconnect Services, so they are not installed.  

                          1. If the License Manager is not running, select Start.
                          2. If the license manager won't start or if all 3 services aren't running, the License Manager will not function properly.
                            1. Follow- ERROR - Ansys License Manager Won't Start
