Hello everyone,

Please help me, I have a problem with Workbench. I have ANSYS 13 X64 on a Windows 7 64 bit laptop.

The installation of both the ANSYS products and the license manager went fine. The license configuration went fine as well, all three steps of the license wizard didn't show any problems and all three license managers show "Running" when I start the License Manager.

The problem is, when I start Workbench, I get an error message: "Could not connect to local server: 24800@localhost" and, on the left part of the screen of Workbench, I have no analysis options whatsoever.

Thank you, in advance, for any help.

Hi,

I also have similiar problem with windows 7. When I reread the licence in license manager, sometimes this error is not coming but not all times. It looks like that problem with windows 7 OS.

Hi,

Any idea to solve this?

Hi Guys,

I think in Win 7 there is an issue with starting the licensing interconnect. I faced this issue, so i am hoping you are also facing the same.

Once you boot Win 7 open the ANSLIC-Admin as "administrator" and start the license manager again. Just click "start license manager" and see to that
ANSYS, Inc. License Manager status:
Licensing Interconnect: running
Licensing Interconnect Monitor: running
FLEXlm: running
is the status.

Then try opening workbench. Hope you guys can start working....

Megatron.

Thanks Megatron,

I've tried what you said but no success...

The ANSYS, Inc. License Manager status is:
Licensing Interconnect: running
Licensing Interconnect Monitor: running
FLEXlm: running

but I still get the "Could not connect to local server: 24800@localhost" message.

Best regards

Check under ansys inc\shared files\licensing\[platform]

that there is not a folder called update. If there is copy the ansysli_client.exe from it into the ansys inc\shared files\licensing\[platform] directory

([platform] stands for example winx64 on windows - so on win64 it would be ansys inc\shared files\licensing\winx64)

I am running windows 7 pro x64 and have the same problem. Does any one have this problem on another version of win7 x64?

I dont have a folder called update in that directory. ansysli_client appears to have the correct path.

Thanks sac for your reply.

Again, no success there. I have no "Update" folder under C:\ansys inc\shared files\licensing\winx64.

Not successful for me too...

My computer wasnt connected to the internet. I connected it and ran the client licensing again. It said there was an error in the license file, it fixed it. Workbench worked without errors after this.

My computer is always connected to the internet. But thanks anyway cha65

Try turning off your firewall.

Other than that I'd contact support. Instances like the one your talking about is what they are there to help customers with.

Hi,

I already checked with customer portal for installation frequently asked questions. I followed the same thing mentioned there. But no success. In my license manager, it shows interconnect and remaining two also connected. But I got the following error.

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Any comments are highly appreciated.

I already checked with customer portal for installation frequently asked questions.

Jsm - Log a support request on the customer portal. It's not obvious from what your saying what the problem is exactly.

Hi Sac,

Ok. I will check with tech support

Hi,
I had a similar problems. Everything seemed to be all right, licenses were available, but I couldn't check out any. We changed the license server and upgraded the anslic_admin at the server, never had problems since.

We do know that our former server was pretty overloaded and slow, and that may have influenced the flexlm licensing. Anyway, make sure you have the absolutely latest version of the licensing software at both the client and server machine.

I found the problem maybe the ‘CPU number’ in the meshing option.

I set it 8 CPUs, and when the meshing ran out of memory once, or read from an ANSYS 12 generated file or so, this problem comes.

So I reset the CPU number in meshing option back to '0', which now is good.

Also, the ANSYS 13 seems has to run under an internet or at least network connection.

-------

BTW: from the microsoft website, this problem may seems more or less due to the over-flood data in the system connection.
