For existing customers, the current license file being used should still work for ANSYS Version 11. 

For new customers, a license file will need to be created.  License Files can be made based on either the Disk ID or Ethernet Address.  The Ethernet Address is used in most cases.  The Disk ID should be used if the computer that Ansys and the License Manager is being installed on is a laptop. 

Once you have obtained your license key from JLR, the license must be installed on the license server machine and all clients machines must be pointed towards the license manager
