Hello,
I am trying to ensure that when i'm opening pygeometry in my session that it pulls a mechanical enterprise license instead of a disco1 license.
Hello @Mark_G_7
Please have a look at the below post in GitHub, where this was discussed.
https://github.com/ansys/pyansys-geometry/discussions/754
The summary of this discussion has also been added to FAQ section
https://geometry.docs.pyansys.com/version/stable/getting_started/faq.html
The Ansys Geometry service is a headless service developed on top of the modeling libraries for Discovery and SpaceClaim.
Both in its standalone and Docker versions, the Ansys Geometry service requires a Discovery Modeling license to run.
To run PyAnsys Geometry against other backends, such as Discovery or SpaceClaim, users must have an Ansys license that allows them to run these Ansys products.
The Discovery Modeling license is one of these licenses, but there are others, such as the Ansys Mechanical Enterprise license, that also allow users to run these Ansys products. However, the Geometry service is only compatible with the Discovery Modeling license.
