To view the elastic license entitlements associated with your Ansys Licensing Portal accounts, follow the steps below.
From the Ansys Licensing Portal Menu, click Entitlements>Elastic Licensing.
The active and inactive entitlements on the license server are displayed. Entitlements are displayed primarily by order of closest expiration date and then by usage percentage. Those entitlements with a higher usage percentage are displayed first.
The data in the Remaining Days and Used Percentage columns is dynamic and provides visual warnings.
The number of days remaining until the license pool expires is displayed in the Remaining Days column. The color of the display changes from green to yellow when the number of days remaining is less than or equal to 90 and red when the number of days remaining is 30 or less.
Note: Thirty days prior to license pool expiration, the Licensing Portal sends an automatic warning email.
The total AEU pre-paid allowance usage is displayed in the Used Percentage column. The color of the display changes from green to yellow when the usage percentage is 80 to 95 percent and red when the usage exceeds than 95 percent.
Note: The Licensing Portal sends usage threshold warning emails automatically, at 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% and 100% of total AEU pre-paid allowance usage.
You can view the elastic license rate table details associated with each AEU entitlement by clicking the appropriate link in the Rate Table column. This link re-directs you to Consumption Table (PDF) on the Ansys website.
The rate table may be updated to add or remove products, or to increase or decrease product consumption rates. Rate table updates are defined as:
A major update (for example, 3.0 => 4.0) can include the addition and removal of products, and the increase or decrease of product consumption rates.
A minor update (for example, 3.0 => 3.1) generally only includes the addition of products and the decrease of product consumption rates. Note that other changes, including the removal of products, may take place as part of a minor update, for instance if Ansys is legally required to remove a third-party from its Elastic offering.
When you purchase Ansys Elastic Units, the rate table version available on that date is associated with the purchase. The major version will remain the same for the duration of the purchase contract. The minor version may be changed from time to time; you are emailed a notification about this update seven days in advance of the minor version change.
Note: Users are emailed a notification about a rate table update seven days in advance of any changes.
