Hi, while running a uniaxial stress-life fatigue analysis during fatigue analysis with OptiStruct intermediate examination I get the license error 9.

Also, checking the license setting I have noticed the same error 9 despise of the license is activated.

However, I have already tried all the tips to fix this issue (listed below), I am still getting the error 9 and I cannot complete the certification.

- check the Ethernet ID:

    Hi,

    Please try to uninstall the software completely from your system and reinstall it again.

    To make sure the file is not damaged on download, run an md5 checksum on the downloaded file (just google md5 checksum). Refer this for instructions -

    Hi Payal,

    Thank you for your response.

    I am struggling to find the installer checksum from Altair Marketplace. Could you address me to find it, please?

    thanks

    Hi,

    I have just followed your instructions (uninstalled the software, deleted the file.exe, downloaded a new file.exe, reinstalled and checked the checksum) but the error 9 has not been fixed.

    Hi,

    Can you let me know which Altair product are you using? And the version of the software?

    Also run md5 checksum on your downloaded file and share the value here so that I can check if it matches with the correct value.

    Can you once check/confirm whether the Ethernet ID of your machine matches with the one in the license file?
