If more cores are needed (beyond that which the SHARCNET license can provide per user) a research group can purchase a license directly from [https://www.simutechgroup.com SimuTech] to host on their own institutional license server. Note however that an extra 20% country-wide uplift fee must be payed if the cluster(s) to be used are not co-located at the institution. Waterloo researchers who only use Graham will therefore be exempt since Graham is physically located at their campus. | If more cores are needed (beyond that which the SHARCNET license can provide per user) a research group can purchase a license directly from [https://www.simutechgroup.com SimuTech] to host on their own institutional license server.

Researchers can also purchase their own ansys license subscription from [https://www.cmc.ca/subscriptions/ CMC] and use their remote license servers. Doing so will have several benefits 1) a local institutional license server is not needed 2) a physical license does not need to be obtained upon each renewal 3) the license can be used [https://www.cmc.ca/ansys-campus-solutions-cmc-00200-04847/ almost] anywhere including at home, institutions, or any alliance cluster across Canada and 4) download and installation instructions for the windows version of ansys are provided so researchers can run spaceclaim on their own computer (not possible on the Alliance since all systems are linux based).
