When running Ansys applications on server versions of Red Hat 7x and CentOS 7x, Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) can block ansyscl communications.
To correct this issue, make sure to establish rules within SELinux to allow Ansys applications (ansyscl) to communicate with ansyslmd.
A new preference is now available in Mechanical Workbench: Close Mechanical During Launch If No License in the Tools > Options dialog, under the Mechanical category. If selected, this preference terminates opening the application and displays a message if no license is available in the queue or if the license checkout process fails. Selecting this preference can save time since otherwise the application opens in read-only mode, which can be a lengthy process for large projects. You can obtain license failure information in the licensing debug file.
