Download the Windows x64 zip file (WINX64.zip). Unzip the zip file. Follow the instructions in the README.txt file contained in the zip file. Uninstall Ansys License Manager Windows. Repeat this process for any other Windows x64 systems that will be license servers. Return all created files to your ANSYS sales representative so that all. Follow these steps to uninstall every trace of the ANSYS License Manager: 1. All commands must be run in an administrator command prompt window. Go to the Windows start menu, type cmd and then right-click on the cmd.exe and select “Run as administrator.” 2. Stop the ANSYS, Inc. License Manager from the ANSYS License Management.

After uninstalling the ANSYS programs from the computer, I am still not able to delete the ANSYS Inc. folder from Program Files-- My Computer .

I want to completely remove the ANSYS files from my device.

open up elevated CMD Prompt , right-click on CMD Prompt and 'run as administrator' , then issue the following commands. Make sure you change your install path accordingly
'C:Program FilesAnsys IncShared FilesLicensingwinx64ansysli_server' -k stop
'C:Program FilesAnsys IncShared FilesLicensingwinx64ansysli_server' -k uninstall
sc stop ANSYSLicensingTomcat
sc delete ANSYSLicensingTomcat
then, you should be able to delete the ANSYS Inc folder.

I'm not too familar with the command prompt but how do i do this if my first line of the prompt is 'C:>' and my ansys is in that exact same folder destination. Also do I need to write that with the quotations?

Please post the screenshots of your ANSYS directory.
It's ok if your first line has C:>
Yes, you need to include quotes

I need to remove license folder but the CMD prompt shows above address..i.e.C:windowssystem 32....while license folder location is C:Program FilesANSYS IncShared FilesLicensingwinx64 ..how to change as it can not recognize the address

No need to change directory. What I provided is called 'absolute path' You just need to include the quote.
Note: When we changed the platform to this new one, the backslash is not transferred to this new platform correctly. The commands are
'C:Program FilesAnsys IncShared FilesLicensingwinx64ansysli_server' -k stop
'C:Program FilesAnsys IncShared FilesLicensingwinx64ansysli_server' -k uninstall
Hi @tsiriaks
I also want to delete the Ansys folder completely after being uninstalled. I did what you mentioned but it still can not be removed. Is this issue related to Ansys license manager. Do I have to uninstall/delete Ansys license manage first? If so, please guide me.
Thanks!
