Installation instructions

2: Installation instructions

If you have previously installed CES Selector or Granta Selector, you do not need to uninstall it before installing Granta
Selector 2024 R1. The software must be installed on a local drive.

2.1. Licensing
Granta Selector 2024 R1 has a flex-enabled, floating concurrent license model. The software itself is installed locally
and may be installed on as many machines as needed, but requires access to an Ansys license server and a license
file to run.

2.2. Ansys Granta Selector installation


Before installing Granta Selector 2024 R1, you will need to have set up an Ansys license server and added your Granta
Selector license file to it using Ansys License Manager (also available from the Ansys Customer Portal Download
Center). For an excellent introduction and step-by-step tutorials for each stage of the process, see the Ansys licensing
and installation page (login required).
To install Granta Selector:

1. Go to the Download Center on the Ansys Customer Portal.


You will need your Customer Portal login details.

2. Expand the Primary Packages header and click Granta Selector.

Granta Selector is listed under Materials. You can click for the package details.
Save File GRANTASELECTOR_2024R1_WINX64.zip when prompted.

3. Extract the files, and double-click selector_setup.2024_R1.exe.


Read and accept the license agreement, and choose a location on your local drive to install Granta Selector.

4. Configure Granta Selector to connect to your Ansys license server.


Enter the name of your organization’s Ansys license server. Your IT administrator will be able to provide this
information, and they can also tell you whether you will need to change the default port number (1055).
Optional: Name up to 2 more redundant license servers.

5. Click Install.

Note: To use Granta Selector with Ansys Workbench, you must have Ansys Workbench 2024 R1 installed. If
