ERROR 10009: HostID mismatch

The error

ERROR 10009: HostID mismatch 

indicates that the license file was generated for a machine with a different host ID. If the license file previously worked on the same machine, then something in the machine configuration has changed. Possible reasons why a HostID might change are listed in What system changes can invalidate a license file?.

If it is not possible to revert back to the computer or network interface HostID associated with your license file, then you will need a new license file.
