Web licensing includes support for Shared Web and Named User Web products for Discovery Modeling and Discovery Simulation.
These portals are integral to Web license management:
Table 5.2: Web License Management Portals
| To do this: | Use the: |
|---|---|
| Request licenses; specify counts (seats) for licenses | Ansys Licensing Portal (Self Serve Licensing > Request Web Licenses) |
| Manage users and their roles; create groups; assign members to groups | ID Portal |
| Assign licenses to users | Ansys Licensing Portal (Entitlements > Elastic Licensing) |
Note:
Users may have mixed licenses. For example, a user may have a combination of Shared Web, Named User Web, and floating licenses, and use them as appropriate.
Named User Web licensing does not support alternate licenses or physics add-on licenses. In cases where an alternate license or physics add-on license is required, the user is reverted to a floating license.
Upon initial product launch, the user is prompted to login.
License checkouts are recorded in log files.
For details about licensing administration, refer to the Ansys Shared Web Licensing Administrator's Guide.
