Open DVD-1 and run setup.exe and cick Install ANSYS, Inc. Products. If you get an error message regarding administrator rights when you try to run the setup, run InstallPreReqs.exe, then run the setup file again. Follow the installation instructions until you see the "Specify license server machine"-window.
In the Hostname 1-field, type lisens01.ivt.ntnu.no and, use the default port numbers.

Finish the installation and click Allow access on all networks in the Windows firewall window that appears.

Remember that you must be connected to the NTNU network either directly or by VPN to get access to the license server when you want to use ANSYS later on.
