How to Re-activate Your Windows and Office License on Krannert Computers

Purdue University uses a remote licensing server that requires your laptop or mobile device to check in every 90 days to avoid notifications about your license expiring. If you fail to check in for 6 months your license will no longer work and Windows and Office will stop working.

To avoid this warning you have a few options:

  • Bring your Krannert owned laptop to Krannert and plug it into a wired network connection for several hours.
    • (This method is preferred as it allows your computer to check in with out update servers allowing other outdated software to update)
  • If you are away from campus and cannot bring it in you can still re-activate your license y connecing to the Purdue VPN for several hours.

 

If neither of these options are working for you please reach out to the Krannert Computing Center for futher assistance.
