Student license deactivation required

Umesh_Carpenter

Hi,

I had activated my student license on my Windows, but after formatting my SSD and resetting the system, I can’t activate the license again. I'm getting this error:

"Error activating license: This license was already activated using different HostIDs"

Could you help me reset the license so I can use it on my current setup?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Umesh_Carpenter

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 –
