I am trying to install PSIM, but this message error appears when trying to activate my license.

I did installed PSIM, but i formatted my notebook, and now i can't install it. I have the same hardware, but i can't deactivate the present license. How can i deactivate?

Hi @BrunoElectrical

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 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 –
