    Hi Shyam,  I've changed this to the Academic forum as there may be more help here with regard to licensing.

    Hi Shyam,

    Can you please let me know if you have activated a student license using the activation key on any other computer or your personal computer before? Or is this the first time you are trying to activate the license on your university computer?

    Earlier also I installed it on university computer. That time I just logged in and it got activated.

    I don't have any key. This time I am trying to install it on another university computer. Note I still want it to run on the existing computer. If I have to use activation key this time please tell me where can I get it from ?

    Hi Shyam,

    We have implemented a new process for activating the student license. As you are trying to use a student license on a new computer, you will need to generate an activation key first.

    Please log in to your Altair One account using your official university email ID. Then, navigate to the student edition bundle and generate the activation key by clicking on the "Get License" option. You can also refer to the below video for the process.

    Since you already have an Altair One account, there's no need to register again. Therefore, please skip the first 5 minutes of the video below and follow the instructions provided thereafter to access the student edition bundle and generate the license activation key.

     
    Please note that currently, you will only be able to use the student license on one computer using the activation key. Thank you for your understanding.

    I dont know what to do. it is so hard to even install this stupid software. (I am really sorry for my language. But i am really frustrated with this, its just one simple installation which is causing so much problems)

    I tried to install it on my personal computer. as i had not done the old installation procedure i did just the new procedure and i get this

    I dont know what to do, i cant install it on another PC in my university, i cant install it on my personal computer what nonsense is this.

    (I cant begin to imagine how many problems i will encounter if i go to install it on HPC and try to run it on a cluster. This software is pathetic.)
