Use windows folder options > unhide known extensions, to make sure the file is named altair_lic.dat and not altair_lic.dat.dat,
You need to confirm if the Ethernet address in the license file is the correct one and matches the one in your machine.
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:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
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.

Altair EmployeeError 9 is one of the problem that I have faced from long time but I did not found the solution for it yet. Again for last few days I was facing a different error that is Error Code 0x80072F8F it was a very complicated error and I was unable to solve those but then I have come across one of the website which properly shows each and every thing in a very easy and simple way. I would suggest you to go through the website and give a solution of your topic like it's given on the link above.
