0: - RiDo
1. mount image of CD or burn.
2. click Install ANSYS 8.0 -> "install now" or run AutoExec
3. do normal installation next>next etc.
(if possible please install in C:\program files... the defaults)
4. It may say that ansys need 1024x768 resolution, just click OK
AFTER installation it will ask:
5. DO u want to do licensing setup?? click YES
6. Is this a license server? Click YES
7. Do u have the license file? click NO
8. Do u want to continue with installation of licensing? click YES
9. after completion of license setup, copy the magnitude folder from CD to
c:\program files\Ansys inc (or anywhere)
10. open ansys.dat with notepad (its in the magnitude folder that u have just co
pied).
11. make sure that ansys.dat and license.dat are NOT READ-ONLY.
if they are, remove them from read-only as we have to make changes in them.
12. click START > all programs>ANSYS FLEXlm License Manager> FLEXlm LMTOOLS Util
ity
13. System setting tab> copy the COMPUTER/HOSTNAME and paste it instead of host
in the ansys.dat file
14. Copy the Ethernet Address from the LMTOOLS window, and paste it in ansys.dat
file
instead of 00000000000
so original ansys.dat file was:
SERVER host 00000000000 1055
DAEMON ansyslmd "C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\intel\ansyslm
d.exe"
and modified on reads as:
SERVER compname ur_ethernet_ID 1055
DAEMON ansyslmd "C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\intel\ansyslm
d.exe"
the rest of the file remains the same
15. save and close ansys.dat now
16. double click Keygen.exe in the crack folder
17. close the DOS window by striking any key, it has now created a license.dat
file in the crack folder.
18. copy this license.dat file and paste it to
C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\Shared Files\Licensing
19. in the LMTOOS window, go to CONFIG SERVICES tab.
20. Path to lmgrd.exe file -> click browse. the file is in
C:\Program Files\Ansys Inc\Shared Files\Licensing\intel
click open
21. Path to the license file -> click browse. the file is in
