    Hello!

    We had to replace the motherboard on our PC, where our IDL + ENVI license is installed. The maintenance agreement for this license is currently expired, although we expect to renew and add modules shortly. However, I am getting the error "unable to license IDL ... trusted storage ID does not match hostid.

    Is this because of a new motherboard? And can we have the license point to the right info? I understand that with an expired maintenance agreement we can't move our licenses from one computer to another, but in this case, we are not doing that.

    Also - before I knew that with the maintenance, the license can't be transferred, I deactiviated this license online. Could that be the cause?


    Thank you.

    A change in the motherboard could very well change the system information used in license activation. This requires a 'rehost' of the license to the machine and if maintenance is not current on the license, the activation will not proceed. You might wish to discuss your circumstance with your account representative in your area if you plan on renewing your maintenance.
