Frequently Asked Questions
If you are having issues with account registration, please review the following frequently asked questions before proceeding.If your question is not covered below, please send your question via email to registration-help@ansys.com.
Question: After filling out the registration form, I was informed that Ansys is unable to provide me access to an Ansys account.
Answer: This occurred because the information that you provided was flagged when going through our automated export compliance screening process, indicating a possible conflict with U.S. laws and regulations. Ansys may be able to grant you access pending a manual review. The manual review may take up to 2 business days. If you are manually cleared, you will receive a follow-up email indicating that your export compliance screening has been successful, and you will be able to continue the registration process.If you don’t hear from us within a day or two of your original registration, you can send an email to registration-help@ansys.com.
Question: I was unable to complete the email verification step and submit the registration form.
Answer: Email verification requires the following steps in order for us to verify that the email you gave for registration is a valid email address:
- Enter your email.
- Click the “Send verification code”.
- Look for an email from “Microsoft on behalf of Ansys” and in the body of that email you will find a six-digit verification code. Check your spam folder if you don’t see this email within a few minutes. If you still don’t see it, return to the Sign Up page and click “Send new code”.
- Return to the Sign Up page and enter that six digit numeric code in the “Verification code” field.
Once the above steps have been completed, you should be able to continue to fill out the remaining fields on the registration form.
