    Hi Rob,

    To deactivate your student license from your computer, please follow these steps:

    1. Navigate to System (C:) > Program Files > Altair > 2023 > security > bin > win64 > gui.
    2. Locate and double-click on almutil_gui.exe to open the Altair License Utility.
    3. In the Altair License Utility, go to Tools > Deactivate License.
    4. Enter the activation key in the provided box and click on 'Deactivate.' (Refer to the image below)

    NOTE: Please note that there are a limited number of chances to deactivate and reactivate a license. Therefore, it's advisable to avoid deactivating it several times.
