    HI,

    Your previous license key activation is now deactivated in Altair one, you can now reactivate the student license with the same license key.

    Deactivation and reactivation feature is only if a computer breaks down and is only allowed a few times per user.

    You can deactivate the license from one machine and reactivate in another by yourself if you have access to both machines as per –
