You will need a license file supplied by Altair Engineering, Inc. to complete the
licensing process. If you do not have a license, contact your account manager at
Altair Engineering, Inc. or your local Altair support office for assistance. With
your request, provide the Hostid value of your license server.
-
To obtain the host ID for the machine, run the following command in a command
shell:
C:\<installation_directory>\bin\almutil –hostid
This provides all the Altair supported valid Hostids for this machine.
-
If you are using one of the Ethernet based Hostids, choose one that is on a
permanent interface. Some interfaces are for VPN’s or other software based
adapters that may not always be present.
-
When you receive your license file, place it in the
<installation_directory>. By default, it should be
in a file named altair_lic.dat. You can check the name by
looking in the altair-serv.cfg file and finding the value
for LICENSE_FILE.
- Optional:
Change the setting in the altair-serv.cfg file to point to
your new license file, if necessary.
