Altair Forum User

Hello everybody,

I have a problem with my student license,I have changed my laptop so the HostID is different now; I still have some months available for the using of my license.

Is it possible to update the license with the new ethernet ID?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately the license file cannot be updated, however if you request for a new license with the new host ID we can provide a new license as a special case.

Dear Sir,

I recently re-ordered HyperWorks Student (order no. 52188), because I previously downloaded it on a Linux OS based machine, which I later realized is not supported.

Furthermore, the ethernet host ID I used in the new order is associated with wireless LAN, since my ethernet adapter on the new machine is not functional. The host ID generator only gave '0000000000E0'.

Will this work alright? If yes, could you please approve the order? And if not, could you please provide me with a solution?

zubin,

your order was approved and delivered,

place the license (downloaded from the store > student edition downloads section) into your security folder, rename it to altair_lic.dat and check,

see the basic troubleshooting post in the forum for any help,

Hello,

after some troubles with my network adapter I assembled a new one at my laptop. For this reason my Ethernet HostID changed. That´s why I need a new license for my HyperWorks Student Edition. I tried to do a requested for a new license but I have no idea what I have to insert at the field 'Account'.

Can you help me?

Rahul_P1

You need to request for the student edition here - http://studentedition.altair.com/

there is no field for account here,

I have a similar issue. When registering today I did not realize that the MAC address was needed, so that I accidentally used my DHCP IP address to generate my license. Do I have to register again with my MAC address or is there another option?

Thank you in advance for your support.

Rahul_P1

You have to register again and enter the correct ID,

Luca,

In special cases like this you can request for another license with the correct ethernet ID and you must then use the new license file.
