Student license activation on different computers

mariozyy

Dear support staff,

I am a student and acquired the student license to activate Rapidminer with Altair One. I was able to do so on my desktop at home and everything went smoothly. But now, I'm trying to set up the same thing on my laptop, but when I try to do it through the same method, it tells me that the license is already activated, which is understandable. Then I tried to log on through my Altair One account or use on premise license that I downloaded, but all of the attempts tell me that this account does not have valid Rapidminer license. Is it because that the account and activation can only be set up once? How can I use Rapidminer on both computers? Thank you!

Best wishes

Hi @mariozyy

Your license key has been deactivated in Altair One, and you can now reactivate your student license using the same key.

Kindly note, The Altair Free Student Edition license is valid for use on only one device, it cannot be shared or activated on multiple machines at the same time AND 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 –
