3.1. Pre-Installation Instructions for Download Installations

Before downloading the installation files, you need to accurately determine your platform type. Versions that are optimized for different chip sets from the same vendor can have similar names, causing confusion. We strongly recommend that you run the getFLEXid script on each machine first. This script will output the correct platform name for each machine on which it is run. This script can be obtained from the Ansys website, by clicking Support>Licensing>Capture License Server Info.
