2.2. Licensing Requirements

The LS-DYNA environment is available to all customers with an Ansys LS-DYNA license and requires that license to run analyses.

The LS-DYNA environment is available for pre- and post-processing (only) with the Enterprise Prepost license.

SMP and MPP Parallel processing are both available. They do, however, require the use of Ansys LS-DYNA HPC licenses. The standard Ansys HPC packs and HPC Workgroup licenses do not work with LS-DYNA. Use Ansys LS-DYNA HPC licenses for running in parallel.
