The Ansys license management center is only available on the license server machine with admin/root access. Checking the license status and availability from the client computer is done using a different method. The process outlined here shows how to check for the Ansys license manager status, usage, and availability of licenses on a different license server machine from your local computer running Lumerical.
Requisites
- Lumerical 2021 R1 and newer
- Ansys license manager 2021 R1 and newer installed and running on the license server
License check on Windows
- Open a command prompt and run:
"C:\Program Files\Lumerical\[[verpath]]\licensingclient\winx64\lmutil.exe" lmstat -c 1055@YOUR_SERVER -a
License check on Linux
- Open terminal and run:
/opt/lumerical/[[verpath]]/licensingclient/linx64/lmutil lmstat -c 1055@YOUR_SERVER -a
Where:
- 1055 == default port used by Ansys license server
- YOUR_SERVER == replace with your license server's hostname or IP address
The default installation path is shown for [[ver]]. Change to the version installed on your computer. Consult with IT or your license server administrator for the license server hostname and port number.
