Why did I get only 16 digits computer id when it is in fact required 20 digits?

Hi, I downloaded Multisim 10.0 for trial (evaluation). However, when I tried to activate it, it is asking for 20 digit computer id. In fact, in the information, they only gace me 16 digit computer id, so what should I do to activate my trial?

In order to activate any NI software you need a 20-character activation code. The computer ID (16-character) is used along with your valid serial number to activate any copy of the software and generate the activation code.

If you downloaded the software for evaluation then you do not need to activate it. You only activate when you have a valid serial number. The software will run for 30-days, I believe each day you use it you will be prompted to activate it, or continue using it in evaluation mode until the period ends.

I believe you are a little confused. The 20 character code is the activation code that comes from NI Activation Process. I don't believe you have to worry about the computer ID because it automatically finds that.

I would suggest using the WEB Activation within the Activation Wizard. This will generate all the information you need to enter into the boxes on the web form. After filling this out you will get your activation code that you can copy and paste into the 20 charater activation code box within the Wizard.

Edit: Nestor is correct. Since this is an evaluation you shouldn't be concerned with activating it. Sorry, I must have mis-read your post.
