Authored by Aaron Schedlin May 2nd, 2024 3145 views 1 likes KB2110516

This article is to assist with obtaining elastic licensing credentials as well as adding those credentials in the client License Settings.

Sign into licensing.ansys.com and search for your company either by customer number or name.
Click on Elastic Credentials
Click on Export ID & PIN.
Share the JSON file with the user that needs access.

Obtain the JSON file from your Ansys Support Coordinator or Portal Administrator.
On the client PC > Windows Search > search for ANSYS License Settings > right click ANSYS License Settings and select Run as Administrator. (Not running as Administrator may result in only the current user being configured for elastic licensing or an error saving.)

Note: License Settings for Electronics is located in C:\Program Files\AnsysEM\vxxx\Win64\licensingclient\winx64. Vxxx is the version you are attempting to use.
In the left-hand panel click on Elastic Licensing > check Enable Elastic Licensing > then click Import ID and PIN.
Browse to the exported JSON file and select Open.
Click Save in the bottom right corner.
