How can I change my license from .lic to .dat?
Hello,
I have an student version of Hyperworks. Therefore I got an activation key. I made everything to activate the license as it is described at this page https://web.altair.com/altair-student-edition#license-activation
When I open Hyperworks I have to manually chose the license file. In my case this is a file called <my activation key>.lic
So it is a .lic - file.
I think normally the file should be called altair_lic.dat (which is a .dat - file).
When I click on activate, Hyperworks is working but all the other products which should also work with this license are not working. There I only get an error.
Can someone please help how I could get rid of this problem, so that I can also use the other products beside Hyperworks? Do I have to change the .lic-file to a .dat-file?
I appreciate every help!
Thank you!
Greetings Andy

I already changed the name of the file but it does not change anything with the problem that I can't use the other Altair Products (only Hyperworks works).
Would appreciate every help!
