help?ANSYS13 FLEXlm?The TCP port number in the license, 1055, is already in use.

21:20:09 (lmgrd) The TCP port number in the license, 1055, is already in use.
21:20:09 (lmgrd) Possible causes:
21:20:09 (lmgrd)? ? 1) The license server manager (lmgrd) is already running for this license.
21:20:09 (lmgrd)? ? 2) The OS has not "cleared" this port since lmgrd died.
21:20:09 (lmgrd)? ? 3) Another process is using this port number (unlikely).
21:20:09 (lmgrd) Solutions:
21:20:09 (lmgrd)? ? 1) Make sure lmgrd and all vendor daemons for this
21:20:09 (lmgrd)? ?? ? license are not running.
21:20:09 (lmgrd)? ? 2) You may have to wait for the OS to clear this port.
21:20:09 (lmgrd) Retrying for about 5 more minutes

why? i have try to stop the PID 1055 ,i am so puzzled

as i see it's a matter of license file
so there is few thigs u can do to avoide this:
1- u must turn off ur firewall while using the license server.
2- u must check ur license file and 2 be sure that ur hostname is written in it.
3- in the license server window there is a small window in the lift corner, be sure that all of these features r runing.

Hi, to everyone.

I have got the same problem. Can anyone help me.

The error I got is:

DISPLAY THE LICENSE STATUS:

ANSYS Licensing Interconnect path = 2325@*****

ANSYS FLEXlm license path = 1055@****


***** Note: Due to a FLEXlm limitation, all tasks may not be found *****

I have covered the hostname with *****, just in case.

Please let me know for any suggestions.

my brother and I did these steps:

1) we started the ansys

2) figured out what process was using 1055
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
lsof -w -n -i tcp:1055
</pre>

3) we killed that process
<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre">
kill 4099
# 4099 was the result of lsof
</pre>

Ansys worked! So ...

4) we concluded that ansys is expensive and annoying sometimes

Hi, I'm also having the same problem and have tried to do what you've suggested. Do you put the "lsof...." line in the command prompt window? I tried that but got the following reply:

" 'lsof' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable command or batch file."

I'd be grateful for any help received!
