Note: Application configurations do not include licensing settings. Licensing for Ansys applications is configured globally on the Administration > License settings page. See Configuring License Settings for Ansys Applications. When creating a virtual desktop or autoscaling cluster, you can override the globally configured licensing settings with custom settings if desired.

Administrators can preconfigure an application so that resource creators do not have to manually specify its settings during resource creation. Whether default application settings are configured or not, resource creators can specify (or override) application settings when creating a resource.

To globally configure an application:

  1. On the main toolbar, click to access the Administration page.

  2. In the navigation pane, select Applications. This page lists all applications available for installation on virtual desktops and clusters. (If you want to configure a cluster application, you can also find it on the Cluster packages page.)

  3. Locate the application to configure and click Edit in the application's table row.

  4. Specify the application's configuration settings. Settings vary depending on the application.

  5. Click Save to save the specified values.

Note: Application settings will be applied to applications on new resources only.
