Nearly every time I try to open OpticStudio, I get a license error and it won’t open.  I’ve had this problem since the migration.

I only have one seat on this license, so it’s unclear why it needs a “license server”.  Why doesn’t the application just look in the folder where the license file is saved?  

The Ansys License Utility pops up.  When I hit enter, it says “No Ansys products were detected.  Check the license settings…”

I can start OpticStudio by opening the license manager, which takes me to the Ansys website where I can select a button that says “Stopped”, but what a bother and it requires me to be online to use the software. 

Are other people having this issue or does my configuration need repair?

Thanks!
