Many long-time PSIM users still hold the legacy licenses.

The legacy licenses which will sooner or later be integrated/transferred into Altair licensing system. Before this is done, many PSIM users still have to install new PSIM versions with legacy licenses.

The installation guides for PSIM2022 and PSIM2023 contains only the steps for Altair license holders. These documents have omitted the steps for legacy license holders.

This article explains the steps for legacy license holders to install PSIM2022 and later versions.


Step 1: Download the PSIM Setup file from AltairOne MarketPlace (www.altairone.com). Unzip and extract the Setup installation application file.

Step 2: Launch the setup PSIM_2023.0_64bit_Setup.exe. An InstallAnywhere dialog will pop up.

Step 3: In the dialog of "License Agreement", check the box for "I accept the terms of the License Agreement", then, click "Next".


Step 4: In the Dialog of "License Configuration", select “PSIM legacy license", not "Altair License".

Step 5: Before clicking the "Next" button:

For license types "Softkey Stand-Alone", "Softkey Network", and Softkey Network Group": 

     Select "Softkey with file". Click "Choose..." to browse the computer to find the file "psim.lic".

If you are installing PSIM on a new computer which has no HASP driver installed, check the box for "Install HASP driver".

 

Step 6: Now you may click "Next" button, and then, choose a preferred folder location to install PSIM.

    For the installation of PSIM2022.3, there is one more step at the end:

    Copy the file "psim.lic" to your PSIM2022.3 folder.

    The file "psim.lic" can be found in folder of your older PSIM versions, or from the Hasp Key (the USB dongle).

    To keep in pace with PSIM newest releases, you need to renew your license maintenance on time.
