Change license of GeometryService?

[dkowollik]

Hi @RobPasMue,

is it possible to change the license preference of the GeometryService to the alternative Mechanical Enterprise Prep Post license (increment: preppost) like in Discovery and SpaceClaim?

Hi @dkowollik! I think this is related to #754 and the corresponding answer #754 (comment)

The Ansys Geometry Service is required to use a Discovery Modeling license... However, you can use PyAnsys Geometry with SpaceClaim or Discovery, which allow the usage of other license types in that case. Of course, performance might be slower in those cases because the final purpose of the Geometry Service is to provide a fast, headless CAD service.

Hi @RobPasMue! Do you plan to add this license option to the GeometryService? This makes no sense compared to all other Anys license strategies with Mechanical Enterprise Prep Post.

Hi @dkowollik! Let me ask around where Ansys stands about this point and get back to you :)
