Error Activating lisence: This lisence was already activated using different HostIDs

My laptop broke down, and after I had it repaired, it was reset and all the data on it was lost. When I reinstalled PSIM and tried to activate the license, I got the message “Error activating license: This license was already activated using different HostIDs.”

Hi @Miftah_Farid

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 –
