Using Ansys on computers with multiple CPU cores and on HPC clusters is supported. Starting with Ansys version 16 (Feb 2015) a single license will let a job run on up to 16 CPU cores. To utilize more CPU cores than that, you will need to buy Ansys HPC licenses (one HPC license for each CPU core 16 you want to use.). Ansys Software Price List Ansys Workbench License Price Aug 10, 2018 A yearly tech support licensing fee can cost about $400 per year. ANSYS offers bundles, which include the solver and the pre/post processor, at about $5,000. It is not a fixed number. An Ansys license may cost 5 lacs or 30k. It depends on the number of licenses, nature of the license (academic, research, or corporate usage), and also who buys it (training centre, academic institution, corporate entity). Sometimes you can also get license on lease which you can renew each year.
I am setting up the license for our ANSYS users right now.
Ansys Hfss License Price
Right now, to grant access to ANSYS on our systems for specific users, I am using the environment variables:
export ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE=1055@license_system_info_here (for each individual user)
based on the information posted here:
However, '1055@license_system_info_here' is not a real license file.
Is there any ANSYS variable that allows me to keep the license information in a real file (so that we have more management for the access control)?
Here is what we expect:
Ansys License File Download
- There will be no default license at ansyslmd.ini.
- We will provide a license file like this to users:
$ cat mylicensefile
Ansys License Price Malaysia
SERVER=1055@license_system_info_here
ANSYSLI_SERVERS=2325@license_system_info_here
- Define a variable to point to the license file like:
export ANSYS_LICENSE=mylicensefile
Thanks a lot,

So, basically you want to know if there is an environment variable to set a non-default location of ansyslmd.ini file.
I don't think this is possible.
However, there is a workaround to achieve something similar to this but the content of the file is not the same syntax as that in ansyslmd.ini.
The content must be like this:
SERVER <servername> ANY <FlexNet_port>
VENDOR ansyslmd
USE_SERVER
INCREMENT any ansyslmd any
Only <servername> and <FlexNet_port> part must be replaced by the actual server information. The rest must be exactly like this.
Then, you can just set ANSYSLMD_LICENSE_FILE to point to this file.

That works for me. Thanks a lot.
Do I need the 'ANSYSLI_SERVERS' settings in the file as well like:
ANSYSLI_SERVERS mymachine ANY 2325

Perfect ! Glad it works for you !
The ANSYSLI_SERVERS is needed only if your License Manager is not running ANSYS LI (Licensing Interconnect) on its default port (2325).
So, if you are using 2325, there is no need to set it anywhere (environment variable or in that file).
