The license file should not be edited in anyway, editing the license file text will render it unusable.

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/

Students can submit up to 5 requests, in special cases this limit can be increased.
