ansys v13 install guides

are you trying to install ansys v13 on windows 7 and  FLEXlm server refuses to run?
here is the solution
First of all  install Hummingbird Exceed 2008 (google it) 
then follow these instructions



0) Disconnect internet and switch off windows firewall
1) Install (right click and Run as admin) setupLM.exe (Disable RSS feed)
2) When it is partly installed, and asks whether to install the Licence file, Run ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility under Start/Programs/Ansys/Ansys Client Licensing
3) Click on 'Display the License Server Machine Hostid'
4) Copy Hostname and Flexid, close the ANSLIC_ADMIN Utility
5) Generate the license.txt file from the provided crack. Edit license.txt and the 2nd series of characters is the HOSTNAME and the 3rd series is FLEXID
6) Replace HOSTNAME and FLEXID with the ones copied at step 4 (if they are not the same). 


7) When installing the Ansys_LM, Step 2, Automatically specify the local machine as the license server -> continue
8) Step 3, Automatically start the license manager -> continue (it will be successful).


9) Run PreReqCheck.exe and check if any is required
10) Run InstallPreReq.exe and install that is required
11) Run PreReqCheck.exe again, nothing should be required


12) Install setup.exe (Disable RSS feed)
13) Skip all configurations and continue, extractions should start
14) browse to next disc content location, once first is over


15)Start Ansys, run it. It should work.
16) Restart PC, check if Ansys is still working, if yes it will work from now onwards. Switch on windows firewall. U can install antivirus.
