ANSYS LICENSE CORES MAC OS
While you should be able run Ansys on a Windows Virtual Machine inside Mac OS with a program like Parellels, this is NOT supported and your mileage may vary in regards to compatibility and performance will be hindered.

However, we have not widely deployed or tested prior versions of Ansys on Windows 11 at this time. As of Ansys version 2022 R2 and after, Windows 11 is supported.That said, OS support does vary by product, particularly Ansys's more specialized products and Ansys does also provide broad support for Linux as well.

In general, Windows 10 (Pro, Enterprise or Education) is the most common supported operating system used by SimuTech engineers and our customers to run Ansys and what we recommend.
