License Settings

Licenses are required to run Ansys applications installed on virtual desktops and clusters in Ansys Gateway powered by AWS. Licenses are supplied through your company's Ansys licensing entitlement.

Before Ansys applications can be run on resources in Ansys Gateway powered by AWS, a tenant administrator must globally configure at least one licensing type on the Administration > License settings page in Ansys Gateway powered by AWS.

If at least one licensing system has not been configured, an alert is displayed on the home page. For example, a tenant administrator will see the alert below. (A similar alert is displayed for non-admin users.)

Other alerts may be displayed if a configured licensing system requires attention (for example, if a Shared Web Licensing token is about to expire).

Note: The settings on the License settings page apply to resources created on or after November 7, 2025. For resources created before November 7, 2025, licensing was configured at the application level when the resources were created. These resources will continue to use their original licensing settings.
