CAPTURE ANSYS LICENSE SERVER INFORMATION

NOTE: Dongles are only available for those sites that require the ability to run Ansys products on an isolated network. If you are attempting to retrieve the hostid information for a FLEXID9 dongle, you will need to download and install the full Ansys License Manager instead of using this process. After installing the license manager, refer to the section Using Dongles with the Ansys License Manager in the Ansys, Inc. Licensing Guide for details. The steps below will retrieve the machine’s hostid.

How to Obtain Data Necessary to Create Ansys License File(s)

Run the following procedure on each system that you have designated to be a license server. During the process, you will be prompted for information about yourself and your company. The procedure will automatically obtain the machine’s hostname and FlexNet hostid. The file that is generated should be forwarded to your Ansys sales representative so that all required license files can be created.
