Error code 9! License Error

Altair Forum User

Hi!

 

I recently applied for altair flux software student version. I received following email with altair flux download link and a license file, please see attached.

 

I installed Altair Flux Supervisor normally through installer, and added environment variables with license file path as described in the email, following;

 

In Windows 10, Go to Settings -> System -> About -> System Info -> Advanced System Settings. Click the Environment Variables button, and add a new User or System level environment variable with the New button. Add the variable name as ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH, click Browse File…, browse to the location that the license is stored and select it.

 

When I started new project, i am getting error 9, kindly help.

 

Thanks!

Hi Hamza1997

 

Check and ensure that there is only 1 license file in your system and the environment variable is set correctly. Copy the file to a location that does not change and set the environment variable.

 

Use windows folder options > unhide known extensions, to make sure the file is named altair_lic.dat and not altair_lic.dat.dat,

 

You need to confirm if the Ethernet address in the license file is the correct one and matches the one in your machine.

 

When you open the license file in a text editor you will see an Ethernet address there in a line that says 'ETHERNET =

         

The Ethernet ID is the ID of your machine which is exactly 12 hexadecimal numbers. For example D4WRF478F398

 

Run ipconfig/all in command window and check for physical address under Ethernet adapter local area connection or Ethernet adapter Ethernet

 

The listed physical address under Ethernet adapter local area connection or Ethernet adapter Ethernet should be used to generate the license file

Check whether the Host-id of your system matches with the generated license file.

 

 if the Host-id does not match the one in the license file, please request for the license file again with the correct Ethernet ID.

 

You can check your computer’s Ethernet address, by using the almutil -hostid application from the Start > Altair > Tools > Admin tools Menu and compare it with the result in the command window,

Alternatively run getmac in command window to find out available Ethernet addresses to cross check as well
