Ansys, Inc. offers multiple high performance computing license options, described below.

When using FlexNet Publisher (FNP) based licenses, the HPC license options cannot be combined with each other in a single solution; for example, you cannot use both AnsysHPC and Ansys HPC Packs in the same analysis solution. However, Ansys HPC OR Ansys HPC Packs can be combined with Ansys Elastic Licenses (AEC) in the same analysis solution. Note that Elastic Licensing does not support Ansys HPC Packs, therefore, any Ansys HPC type request from an application is converted into Ansys HPC when using Elastic Licensing.

See the applicable product documentation for instructions on configuring and running a distributed solution.
