Ansys Licensing Adjustment
Occasionally you need to adjust the licensing configuration for Ansys or AnsysEM (HFSS). This is done with the Licensing Settings tool. You will need to navigate the Licensing Settings tool then Right Click and “Run as adminitrator”. You will need to do this for both Ansys and AnsysEM (HFSS) if you have both installed.
You will need Administrator privileges on your machine or have “Make me Admin” / “Admin by Request” to make these changes.
