The SHARCNET Ansys license is made available on a first come first serve basis. Should an unusually large number of Ansys jobs be submitted on a given day some jobs could fail on startup should insufficient licenses be available. These events however have become very rare given the recent increase in anshpc licenses. If your research requires more licenses than SHARCNET can provide, a dedicated researcher license may be purchased (and hosted) on an Ansys license server at your local institution. Researchers can purchase a license directly from Simutech where an extra 20% country-wide uplift fee must be added if the cluster where the license will be used is not co-located at your institution (for example the Graham cluster at Waterloo). To use a local institutional Ansys license server, reconfigure the ~/.licenses/ansys.lic file on the cluster(s) where you want to use it.
