    What type of license file do you have? Are you able to share your license file here.

    Based on what type of license you have I can help you out.

    Hi,

    I have the exact same problem with my local student license file and Inspire 2021 installed on a PC in my University.

    However, I follow the steps described in this page and created the system environment variable, but the problem remains.

    Can you help me as soon as possible ?

    Kind regards,

     

    Lionel

    Use windows folder options / view > display file name 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:

     

    The listed physical address under Ethernet adapter local area connection should be used to generate the license file, if there is no listing of Ethernet adapter local area connection, the address under Wireless Adapter LAN Wifi must be used.

     

    That means if the address provided as above does not match the one in the license file, please request for the license file again with the correct Ethernet ID here https://studentedition.altair.com/

    Hi, Rahul and thank you for your answer.

     

    I checked the filename of the license file and it is good.

    The same for my MAC address : it is the good MAC address wrote in the "altair_lic.dat" file, but the problem remains.
