When I try to load Axiom product from the menu, why do I get a message saying that my license is for a different CPU-ID (number)?

If you're getting the message in an information box that says, “Your (Axiom product + version) single-computer license is only for use on the computer that has Axiom CPU-ID (Number). This computer has a different CPUID (number)", it means the following:

The CPU-ID in the license string that the program is reading is different than the CPU-ID that is being detected on your machine. This happens when your software was registered for a different machine. To request a new license file, send an e-mail to Axiom’s Activation Department (SoftwareActivation@AxiomInt.com) with a snapshot of the license message you encountered and let them know why your machine changed.

(A CPU (central processing unit) is the part of a computer that interprets and carries out instructions of a computer program.)

(Transferring a single-computer license activation requires active maintenance.)
