Unable to install Ansyns Fluent

I need the software for university and on Windows 11 it just closes after a few minutes with no error message.
I tried installing the program on Linux Mint, but I got the same error I did now, with the only difference being that I didn’t get any error message when trying to install it.
The issue is that I can’t set the license server after installation. When it’s run with root access like after the installation, I get a blank window and this error message in the terminal:

When I launch it without root permission, the program starts, but when I try to save the server I get that error message:

Could not set flexNet servers

Trying to enable Web Licensing > Products causes the error message:

Insufficient permissions on file ‘/usr/ansys_inc/shared_files/licensing/ansyslmd.ini’. Please relaunch the utility in Administrator mode.

I did try to install all the required packages, but I couldn’t install all of them due to these conflicts:

Maybe those are the cause for the error message that gets generated after the installation, eventhough non of the conflicts applied to Table 2.1: Packages Required for the Installer to Run & Table 2.23: Ansys, Inc. License Manager
This is the error message:
