HiI'm having the exact same problem at the moment, I have my university provided serial number for multisim education and every time I try to enter the code it just says activation warning. Did you manage to find a way around this?

I installed Multisim in a virtual machine with Windows on my Mac, and activated the license in it with no problem. Then I came back to the Windows version on the Boot Camp, and I could use Multisim is perfectly.


1 This is just software, correct? Do I have to get it shipped - is it just the installation disks? Is there anything else with the package ? The shipping alone is more that the price in the link. One way would be if one can download the soft and just get the license key(s) emailed.

2 The version is outdated (at least a couple of major's?), so is it worth it? Is the included license only for v14, and the update to later (also student) versions not covered?


I believe would have to be shipped as it is a CD installation. There aren't actually any newer versions of Multisim as you can see on the National Instruments page for it: -us/support/downloads/software-products/download.multisim.html#312060. The latest version available is 14.2, which I believe we ship now, so perhaps it is possible that we can just email the appropriate serial number/activation code and you use it to appropriately activate the software after downloading it from NI's website. Whether or not that is worth it to you is more of a personal opinion so I won't be of much help in that regard.


NI does have Multisim Live now ( ) which has both a free and a paid version, though I'm not fully certain of the differences between the online version and the desktop (i.e. CD/downloaded version onto a PC). I do know that the online version does not interact with any physical hardware so it can be used as a standalone tool (as can the desktop versions, no physical hardware is required).


I must have dreamed that I saw version 16 as latest ... yesterday on their website. Sorry, probably had too many things looking at the same time, and may be confused LabView latest version number with multisim. Anyway.


The latest version 14.2 can just be downloaded from NI's website and not need a CD for installation. Otherwise yes, you will need a USB CD drive or an actual disk drive on your computer. I don't think any of the machines here at Digilent have a disk drive either, so it's been awkward for everybody. And if you do get a USB drive for it, maybe one day you'll watch an old DVD on your computer or upload an old music CD to a digital library, who knows.


The best way to make sure that the latest version is shipped would be to email our Sales team, sales at digilentinc dot com. My understanding from email threads that I have seen is that the latest version is shipped, but (for whatever reason) the associated pictures and description have not been updated.
