Hi there

I have access to an Academic Research license which allows me to do a few things beyond the capabilities of the usual student license. I also like to have access to the student license on my machine just in case the license server goes down for maintenance (which it does from time to time). However, I'm having a few issues with connecting to the license server we have set up for the academic research license. It would be handy to know if the current student version of ANSYS is actually capable of connecting to a remote license server, or if that is something that is explicitly not possible on the student version.

Thanks
