ANSYS, Inc. has discontinued support for the HP-UX Itanium 64 and the IBM AIX 64 platforms for the ANSYS, Inc. License Manager.

At ANSYS Release 14.0, the license manager daemons (lmgrd and ansyslmd) have been upgraded to FLEXlm 11.9.1 (FLEXnet 11.9.1). We strongly recommend that you upgrade to this version of the license manager, regardless of whether you are upgrading to ANSYS Release 14.0.

You can now use the -setliclang option to change the language used by ANSLIC_ADMIN and the ANSYS, Inc. Licensing Interconnect log file. This option changes the language for all users running the ANSLIC_ADMIN utility (only the server ANSLIC_ADMIN on Windows).

To change the language setting locally for only the current session of the ANSLIC_ADMIN utility, you can launch the utility using the -lang option. To always use this setting locally without having to set this command line option each time, you can set an alias on UNIX/Linux or modify your Start menu shortcut on Windows. Please refer to your operating system documentation for those instructions.

For more information on using these language settings, please see the silent license manager installation instructions in the ANSYS, Inc. Installation Guide for your platform and the ANSLIC_ADMIN discussion in the ANSYS, Inc. Licensing Guide.

ANSYS HPC Pack licenses are now available for borrowing. Only a single HPC Pack license can be borrowed at one time.

CFX now respects licensing preferences. Previously, CFX would always use the lowest capability first. It will now use the licenses specified with User License Preferences. See the ANSYS, Inc. Licensing Guide for more information on setting licensing preferences.

The default handling of the FLEXlm options file has changed. The Licensing Interconnect will no longer process the FLEXlm options file by default.  If you need to have the Licensing Interconnect process the FLEXlm options file (needed when the FLEXlm options file contains IP addresses), add the following entry to the ansyslmd.ini file on the license server:

ANSYSLI_USE_FLEXOPTS=1

Then, either reread or restart the Licensing Interconnect.
