Before a local Ansys license server can be reached from an Alliance system, firewall changes will need to be done on both the server side and the Alliance side. For many institutional servers this work has already been done. In such cases you simply need to contact your local Ansys license server administrator and request 1) the fully qualified hostname (LICSERVER) of the server; 2) the Ansys flex port commonly 1055 (FLEXPORT); and 3) the Ansys licensing interconnect port commonly | Before a local Ansys license server can be reached from an Alliance system, firewall changes will need to be done on both the server side and the Alliance side. For many institutional servers this work has already been done. In such cases you simply need to contact your local Ansys license server administrator and request 1) the fully qualified hostname (LICSERVER) of the server; 2) the Ansys flex port commonly 1055 (FLEXPORT); and 3) the Ansys licensing interconnect port commonly 2325 (INTEPORT). With this information you can then immediately configure your <code>ansys.lic</code> file as described above and theoretically begin using the software. If however the license server has never been setup for use on the Alliance systems that you want to use it on, then you will also need to request the 4) static vendor port number (VENDPORT) number from your administrator. <br> | ||
Once you have all the information together, send it to [[technical support]] and mention which systems you want to use to run Ansys jobs. We will then arrange for the Alliance firewall to be opened so outbound license connections from the Ansys software can reach your license server. You will also be sent a range of IP addresses so that your server administrator can likewise open the local firewall to allow inbound license connections to your server on the required ports (FLEXPORT, INTEPORT, VENDPORT) from the requested Alliance systems. | Once you have all the information together, send it to [[technical support]] and mention which systems you want to use to run Ansys jobs.
