Network License Manager for Windows 11

[peter_mackenzieUN9A2]

I'm running Windows 11 and can't install the Network License Manager (which means that CAD doesn't work). I've followed the instructions below and it appears that the NLM doesn't support Windows 11.  Is there a workaround? What am I doing wrong?

What does can’t install mean?

The license manager is only for multi-user licensing is this the license type your using?

[peter_mackenzieUN9A2]

The .msi file doesn't open the installer.  I'm using a student license and CFD Ultimate.  The specific error message Im getting when running CFD Solve is below:

You may have a license manager already running

Thanks, the issue's still there but it looks like we're honing in on the problem: It won't let me generate a license file.

[peter_mackenzieUN9A2]

In CFD 2023 the About tab has no license information.

Is this a student license?

If it is than you won’t be able to generate a license

[peter_mackenzieUN9A2]

Darren, yes it's a student license - does that explain why CFD shows the motion solver license error?  Is motion solver excluded from the student license or is there something else going on?

[DarrenP · Accepted solution]

yes the student license does not get a network license

otherwise i will ping @LeoWarren-EDU to see how this works with student licenses
