License Activation

Hello,
I have the problem that I don't know exactly how to activate my student license in Inspire. I have activated a student license but didn't receive a download. According to the instructions, I should specify the path to the saved license file under "Local File." But I don't know how and where to find it.
What can I do?

You can set an environment variable with name ALM_HHWU and Value F to force the use of the student license key.

Hi,

I followed all of the steps mentioned above during the initial installation, including entering the license key in the "almutil_gui.exe" file. However, every time I open Inspire, I still get the message that my license will expire in 2 days, even though I created it just 14 days ago.
Do you have any idea what I might have done wrong, or why it isn't working?
