This chapter explains how to use the Ansys License Management Center (LM Center) to perform many of the procedures necessary to administer Ansys licenses. The Ansys License Management Center is a browser-based user interface that centralizes many of the Ansys licensing administrative functions. Basic license administration functionality has been incorporated into the Ansys License Management Center; some advanced options remain in the ANSLIC_ADMIN utility. See License Administration Using the ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility for more information on the ANSLIC_ADMIN utility.
Note: For Windows systems, Ansys, Inc. requires that you have system administrator privileges to start the Ansys License Management Center. To use the Ansys License Management Center, you must access it from the local license server machine.
