I downloaded an online tool called Attribute Changer. Or let me know what are all the other steps you have or what you did after installation to get this bad clock error? or after you installed the application when open the application you are seeing this error?.īest least it's good to know I was on the right track. So if you did not have any Feature date file or Directory then you may need to double-check your system clock is configured correctly with the right time zone. 10:36:43.587874 info: Checkout of ACP product license with Ansys ACLE license manager: Checkout successful (server= client=BLR-xxxxx_flexera_com-MRathinam-26528-000002). 10:36:40.797713 info: Initialize Ansys ACLE license manager for acp: Successful Hi I tried the same installer in my system to see if I get the same error or not, however I can checkout the license without any error.

I have tried asking the question in the Ansys forums as well but no luck so far. I even formatted the entire computer and reinstalled windows in desperation! But nothing seems to work. I have tried many things for a couple of days now. All hidden and system files are also accounted for. The below screenshot shows that there are no files with a modified date after (the screenshot was taken a couple of days ago). However, when I search my entire computer for such files I cannot find any. I tried looking into the error -88309 issue by searching online and found a couple of solutions (like this post or this post) where they claim the problem is due to some system files having modified dates that are set in the future compared to the system clock. The below screenshot is from Ansys Fluent application. I have recently bought a new computer and tried to install Ansys but when I open one of the applications I receive a FlexNet licensing error -88309 and the application is only available in the read-only mode. I have a licensing issue from ANSYS STUDENT 2021 R2.
