Working with the Add-on Licensing Manager
Licenses for the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ add-on modules can be managed through the Add-on Licensing dialog.
To access this dialog:
-
Select
from the menu bar.
-
Alternatively, right-click on the root node in the
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ object tree and select
Add-ons.
The Add-on Licensing dialog appears.
-
You can manually check out licenses by activating the checkbox next to the respective add-on, and clicking
OK.
A message then appears in the Output window informing you that the license was checked out successfully. Checked out licenses can be checked back in by deactivating the checkbox next to the respective add-on, and clicking OK. A message appears in the Output window informing you of this action.
The Retry licenses on requiring operation option controls whether Simcenter STAR-CCM+ tries to check out the required license (if it is not already checked out). If this option is cleared, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ does not try and check out any of the add-on licenses.
The Release licenses after geometry import option controls whether the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ JTOpen Reader and Simcenter STAR-CCM+ CAD Exchange licenses are released after importing a CAD geometry into Simcenter STAR-CCM+. If this option is cleared, these two licenses will remain checked out until you manually release them or the simulation file is closed.
