Student Edition License – Already activated using different HostIDs

Jayanth_sk6

Hello Altair Support Team,

I am using Altair HyperMesh/OptiStruct Student Edition on my laptop. I am getting the following error when I try to activate my license:

“Error activating license: This license was already activated using different HostIDs.”

I was previously able to use the Student Edition on this same laptop. Could you please reset/deactivate the previous HostID associated with my Student Edition license so that I can reactivate it on this computer?

Thank you for your help.

@Jayanth_sk6 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 –
