We can offer you the following licenses:

• We have several "ANSYS Academic Multiphysics Campus Solution" licenses, consisting of research licenses and teaching licenses. The main difference in both license types is that the research licenses are not limited in their calculation depth (number of nodes). Several ANSYS tools are also integrated in these licenses; you can find a tabular overview here.
• The research licenses also include some ANSYS Academic CFD-Turbo Tools licenses.
• In addition, the research licenses also include the formerly independent functionalities of the Apache product, which are now managed by ANSYS as Semiconductor Tools.

• We only offer research licenses to the research groups/teaching areas of the TU, the affiliated institutes of the TU and the University of Kaiserslautern that contribute to the costs. In contrast to teaching licenses, the depth of calculation (number of nodes) is unlimited for research licenses.
• We offer teaching licenses to all employees and students at RPTU with a valid RPTU account.
• For licensing reasons,other groups of people and institutions may not use this software provided by us. In this case, please contact your software supplier directly.

2. We also offer the option of local installation, which can be downloaded from the service portal. There you will also find all the necessary information on licensing, both for teaching and research licenses.
   After installing the software, your computer must be enabled for access through the firewall.
   If you are not yet authorized to download, please check the relevant details in the following section on ordering software.

• The use of teaching licenses is free of charge for all authorized users.
• The use of research licenses is subject to a fee.
  We only pass on the actual license costs to all users and try to allocate these fairly and equitably to all users. The amount of these costs is generally based on your actual usage period and is calculated by us once a year and subsequently invoiced to the organizational unit (e.g. working group, teaching area, department, affiliated institute...) that has given us approval for its use.

Requirements

1. All employees and students at RPTU with a valid RPTU account can download the teaching licenses from the service portal.
2. To use the research licenses by students at RPTU, please contact the supervisor of your working group. The responsible OU admin can then enter you in the OU of authorized users.
3. Employees of RPTU and affiliated institutes belonging to RPTU require the approval of the cost centre manager of their organizational unit for the use of research licences. In this case, please contact our ticket system, stating your RPTU account and your organizational unit (faculty, teaching area and name of the cost centre manager).
   You will then receive a message when the software is available to you.
