Upgrade of Ansys licence servers to Ansys 14.5

 
Description: 

On Monday 3/12, the Ansys licence servers will be upgraded to the latest version in order allow for use of the new Ansys release 14.5. In principle this kind of licence server intervention should be fully transparent to users as we have a redundant licence server setup.  However, earlier experience with Ansys has shown that due to the additional proprietary Ansys licence server interconnect, there is a risk that users will not be able to start Ansys sessions during the intervention.

In the case where you cannot launch Ansys or Fluent from 13:00 on Monday 3 December, please try again a bit later once the intervention is finished.
