Activate your SimSolid license from within the product.
- Trial license
- Enter the user name and password. These values are obtained by
registering for the trial license at www.altair.com. Optionally,
enter company specific proxy parameters.Note:

- Standard Altair Units license

SimSolid licensed with Altair Units requires a Hosted Altair Unit subscription or an Altair 2019 or later license file. Server licenses also require the Altair License Management System 15.0 or newer.
For Hosted Altair Unit users, enter your Altair One username and password in the Hosted on Altair One text boxes and press OK. Internet connection is required for Hosted Units. You can specify proxy settings by selecting the Use proxy box.
To point to an Altair license server, enter values in either the License file or the License server field. The License file is used in cases where a node-locked license does not require Altair License Management System. This value is the full path to the license file located on your local computer. The License server points to one or more network license locations. The proper format for the network license location is port@hostname. Multiple license servers are allowed and should be separated by a semi-colon (;).
Note:The license server values can be alternatively located in the Microsoft Windows environment variable ALTAIR_LICENSE_PATH.
