Hi,

-To activate the license on another computer, you must first deactivate it from your previous computer where it was previously activated. 

To deactivate your license from your previous 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) 
5. Once you have successfully deactivated the license on your computer, you can now activate the license on your other computer using the same activation key. 

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.
