AppsAnywhere has two main components: the AppsAnywhere Application and the Cloudpaging Player. After launching applications from the Application, they are loaded and installed on the system and displayed in the Cloudpaging Player.

The status of a launch application will also be displayed. The different statuses that can be displayed are listed below with an explanation of what each status means.

Activating

During the activating stage, AppsAnywhere acquires authorization and information from the server for the application.

Prefetching

During the prefetching stage, the application’s files are being copied down to the local system.

Virtualizing

During the virtualizing stage, the application’s files are being installed on the local system.

Authorizing

During the authorization stage, AppsAnywhere verifies that there is a valid license and seat available for the application.

Ready

The ready status signifies that the application is installed and can be used.

Running

The running status signifies that the application or that a service from the application is running. After exiting, some apps may still have a “Running” status if services from the app continue running in the background.

Deactivating

During the “Deactivating” stage, the application’s files are being uninstalled from the local system and the Cloud paging Player’s cache as well.

Tips:

• You will need Cloudpaging Player installed. If you haven't installed yet, please see the 'Installing Cloudpaging Player' tutorial in the first accordion tab.

• If you've already installed the Cloudpaging Player on your computer, you can click on the Start Menu to find your Cloudpaging Player.

• You can also look for the Cloudpaging Player icon in the Windows system tray (near the clock).

• When the CloudPaging Player appears, select one of the software that you've launched before.
• Then right-click with a mouse on a chosen software to Launch.
• The software should start automatically.
• If you want to remove a software, click Remove on CloudPaging Player. If the application is Running, you will need to click the red Stop button before clicking Remove.

Step 1

Step 2

• When you see green arrow circle at the right bottom of the page, this means validation is successful and you're ready to launch software.

Step 3

• You can search any software title and then click on App icon. You can also click View all apps at the bottom of the page as shown in the above screenshot.

Step 4

Some very large or complex applications, can take some time (perhaps several minutes) before they are ready to use. This is because the application has to pull down lots of information to the computer you are working on.

The launch time will be much better the second and subsequent times you launch the software on the same computer but each new computer you use will be treated as a first launch and take longer.

The experience will be better on the newer or more powerful computers. Also devices connected to a faster network will download and start applications with less delay.

After logging into the AppsAnywhere, use the search bar located at the center of the page to search for the apps title. If after searching you still can't find the application, please talk to your instructor or contact ITG.

• Open Cloudpaging Player
• Go to File -> Options
• Select the Cache tab
• There you can change the cache location in your computer/laptop.

Ansys does not support UHD and 4K resolution displays. You can reduce the resolution (try 1920 x 1080) and then also adjust your windows scaling settings. Do not forget to reboot after making the resolution changes. Also try right-click on the ANSYS Product (Workbench in this case) shortcut and select Properties. Under Compatibility select Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.

By default the Cloudpaging Player will run in the background when Windows bootsup. If you want to prevent this and only run the player when you need it, follow these instructions:

Open the Cloudpaging Player.
Click File -> Options.
On the general tab, uncheck "Start Cloudpaging Player when Windows starts".
