                          Description

                          This article will show you how to review the license usage history data when you don't have access to the license server machine.

                          Solution

                          Step #1 - Gather License Server Diagnostics File

                          1. Gather a diagnostic log file from the License Server
                            1. HOW TO - Gather Ansys Diagnostic Logs - SimuTech (simutechgroup.com)
                           
                           

                          Step #2 - Install the License Manager on Your Local Computer

                          1. Download & Installation the License Manger software on your local computer.
                            1. You do not need to install the client software.
                           
                           

                          Step #3 - Import Log Files

                          1. Download and extract the license server logs 
                            1. Example naming format - “lmcenter_daig_ANDFS00_DATE_time.zip”)
                            2.  We will need these files shortly, keep this window open.     
                                                                          
                          2.  Ensure that all Ansys software is not running, best practice is to check in Task Manager > Services tab, stop any services that start with Ansys by right mouse click > stop service.                                                              
                          3. In a new File Explorer, Navigate to C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\Shared\Licensing\
                          4. The files in this folder contain the logs from the license server on your local computer, make a backup copy of this folder if you want to keep this data. 
                          5. Go back to the window where we extracted the client's diagnostic files, select all > copy > paste in C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\Shared\Licensing\ folder, when prompted, select Replace the files in the destination.

                             

                             
                           
                           

                          Step #4 - Review the License Usage Charts

                          1. Launch Ansys License Management Center
                          2. On the left, select View License Usage History > specify Date Range and any other desired data > select Generate
