Student License not working

After receiving the email with the student version download links I installed the Inspire software.

I downloaded the altar_lic.dat file and placed in the installation_directory --> security folder.

When I launch Inspire I get the following error in the licensing prompt. (see attached screenshot)

Also tried changing the ETHERNET physical address in the license file to my computers ph. address, manually browsing to the license file as well as creating a system environmental variable. Nothing has worked so far.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

All the troubleshooting steps necessary for student license issues are here - https://altairuniversity.com/altair-student-edition-licensing/

You can also watch this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp3zAFPRFlI and follow the steps mentioned in it to install the software and activate the license successfully.

Please ensure that you are using the correct Ethernet ID when requesting a license file. Run "ipconfig/all" in the command window and use the physical address found under "Wireless LAN Adapter Wi-Fi" to request a new license file.

NOTE: Ensure that you are not connected to a VPN while using the software or activating the license.
