Hello,

I got the student license activated today for my laptop as I want to learn more about meshing. However, I realized there is a lot of time spent on loading and waiting, and it is generally a very slow and laggy process on my laptop. I understand that as the software is quite advanced with many computations. However, I also have another stationary computer with a bit more power so I wonder if it is possible to switch my license to that computer instead? I will of course not use my laptop for this anymore if that is the case.

Would appreciate any answers regarding this. Thanks in advance.

    Deactivation and reactivation feature is only if a computer breaks down or reformatted and is only allowed a few times per user preprogrammed into the system.

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