Getting a student license

- You will start the verification process with proxid.
- Proxiid will ask for your instituion: "Reykjavik University"
- Proxiid will need your institution email: "username@RU.IS"
- Proxiid will then submit the request, then send you an email
- You should get an email (you may need to check Spam) from
request@proxi.id. Notice that this is the same domain as where Altium sent you. Click on the "Continue" button or cut and past the link at the bottom of the email(a safer choice).
- In the browser, it should ask you to complete verification
- This should return you to the Altium site where you can then sign up for the Lab.
It will force you to scroll through the privacy policy near the end before you can check the box.
- After completing the form, your enrollment is complete. You will need to wait up to a few hours to receive your license in email.
- The email will come from
admin@altium.comand give the next steps you need to complete.
Save this email because it contains your license serial number and activation code.
- Your first step is to click on the "Activate AltiumLive" to create your account used to manage your workspaces and licenses. The link should look something like
https://live.altium.com/ActivateEval/HEXADEXIMALLETTERSANDNUMBERS?utm_source=altiumdatabase&utm_medium=emailMost importantly, the domain islive.altium.com - Once you have logged into AltiumLive, you are able to access the downloads area. This is where some people have run into trouble as you want "Altium Designer" not any of the other variants such as "Develop" or "Agile".
Click on the "Online Download" to get the right executable, which is circled in green.
