License activation

Question

I activated my student edition license using the almutil_gui.exe program on my computer. I got confirmation that it was activated, and my activation key now exists in the license store. However, the license log on Inspire Cast shows a "failed to activate" message.

Has anyone experienced this before? What is the solution?

I am followed the procedure but I am still having this issue:

The license has already been activated in the store. However, when I try to use the software, it shows that the license is not activated.

If you need to use the free Altair student edition, please follow the procedure here - https://community.altair.com/discussion/34207/instructions-to-access-the-free-altair-student-edition-now-in-altair-one#latest

If you need to use Altair managed licenses that your university has, follow the procedure here - https://community.altair.com/discussion/61871/using-the-academic-edition-licensed-with-altair-units-via-altair-one-altair-managed-licensing#latest

Please set an environment variable with name ALM_HHWU and value T to use just the managed licensing. To disconnect from managed licensing and use the free Student Edition license, please set an environment variable with name ALM_HHWU and value F.

Once done please use either just the free student edition license or the managed licensing activation methods.
