Payment type: PO & Invoice - Paid in ANSYS PO

Server IP: serverIP.docx 

Port: 7790

License Key:  slim8.key

Instructions: Server

For floating licenses, if you are using EnSight 10.1 or older, please place the slim8.key file in the subdirectory $CEI_HOME/license8/ for each computer that will run either EnSight or slimd. Note that the environment variable CEI_HOME must be defined for the licensing software to work. With EnSight 10.2 and the latest version of slimd8 you do not need to set CEI_HOME.  The 'bin/' scripts figure it all out.  Simply put '..../CEI/bin/' or '.....\CEI\bin' in your PATH or type out the entire pathname.

Additionally, if you have a floating license, you will need to start the license manager service before starting EnSight. If you are on a Linux machine, simply run the command "slimd8_start" as root. On a Windows machine, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\CEI\license8\machines\win64, right-click on "slimd8_install.exe" -> Run as administrator. Then, go into the Windows Services (Start menu -> Services), find the "slimd8_service", right click on it and Start it. In its properties, set its Startup Type to be Automatic.
