I have a student license, changed my computer and installed Inspire again. I tried to activate the license by following the license activation process, but I got an error saying that it was in use by another host ID. What should I do in this case?
Hi @lsw
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 – https://community.altair.com/discussion/34280/altair-student-edition-deactivate-from-one-computer-to-activate-in-another-in-the-rare-case-a-computer-is-lost-or-malfunctional#latest
Thanks
