DPF server context

The server context drives the licensing logic a DPF server uses.

Available licensing context

Two main licensing context type capabilities are available:

• Premium: This default context allows DPF to perform license checkouts, making licensed DPF operators available.
• Entry: This context does not allow DPF to perform any license checkout, meaning that licensed DPF operators fail.

Default context

The default context for the server is Premium. You can change the default context using the ANSYS_DPF_SERVER_CONTEXT environment variable.

The Entry server context is only available in DPF 2023 R2 and later.
