Configuring Applications

Many applications have configuration settings that must be specified to enable their installation and use, such as license server information or product keys.

Administrators can preconfigure an application so that resource creators do not have to manually specify its settings during resource creation.

To configure an application:

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

  2. In the navigation pane, select Applications.

  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. For licensed Ansys applications, for example, you must specify information about your license server and license details. For information on available options, see Managing Application Licenses.

  5. Click Save to save the specified values.

Note: Application settings will be applied to applications on new virtual desktops only. To change the license server used by applications on existing virtual desktops, you need to modify ansyslmd on those machines. For more information, refer to the Ansys, Inc. Licensing Guide in the Licensing documentation.
