      Answer: If the following error message is shown when running a Planar EM solve: [error] Failed to check out license ‘ensemble_25_sim’, License server does not support this license (FLEXlm Error -18) The solution to fix the above problem is to enable HFSS license for Planar EM solve. To do this: From the ANSYS Electronics Desktop, select the menu item Tools -> Options -> HPC and Analysis Options In the HPC and Analysis Options window, click the Options tab, make sure to select design type HFSS 3D Layout Design. Under Solve Licensing, set the value for ‘Use HFSS license for Planar EM solve’ to ‘True’.
