                          • Software license files/assets are assigned to an ASC/user in Ansys's Database. 
                          • The ASC is whoever receives the license file via email. 
                          • A software asset can only be assigned to a single ASC at a time.
                          • Multiple ASC's at the same company are possible if they have multiple assets.
