Auto-Created Ansys Accounts

An administrator in your organization may add you as a user in the Ansys Account portal and may also assign a subscription to you at the same time. When you are added as a user, an Ansys Account is created for you automatically if one does not already exist. Initially, the administrator's profile information (address and phone number) is applied to your account. When you access your account for the first time, you will be prompted to set a password and specify your profile information.

When an Ansys Account is created for you, you receive an email notification. The email contains a link to access your account and assigned subscriptions. When you click the link, you are prompted to sign in to your Ansys Account:

Follow the steps below to sign in to your account and set it up:

  1. In the sign-in dialog box, enter the email address to which the notification was sent, then click Continue.
