Hello, I was trying to activate PSIM using the student license assosiated with my college email, unfortunately the licence provided to me won't work anymore, it turns out I installed the software I needed (PSIM) a couple of weeks ago and the activation did work that time, unfortunately I was forced to format my computer not long after, I retraced the steps I did for the first installation but the student license I got won't work anymore, I get the following error message:

 

"Error activating License: This license was already activated using a different HostIDs."

my license expires in 2025

    Hi,

    Your license has been deactivated from the old system. Now you should be able to activate the student license on the new system. Please try to activate the license and let me know if it works.

    You can follow this video to access the student edition bundle on the Altair One marketplace and successfully activate the license using the activation key - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4_-4MZNF7Y.

    Also, follow the additional steps mentioned on this website to activate the license for PSIM, Flux, and RapidMiner/AI Studio - https://web.altair.com/altair-student-edition

    You should be able to activate with the same license key now, let us know with a screenshot of the error if you are still unable to.
