If you see following error message when launching Origin:

To run this product you need to update your license maintenance date

If you are connecting your Origin to a license server:

Please contact your Origin license server administrator to check if the Origin version installed on the client machine is supported by your Maintenance plan.

  • If yes, please check if the license file on the server has been updated after Maintenance renewal.
    • If not, please follow the instructions on this page to update the license file with the new Maintenance date
    • If the license file has been updated already, please press Reread License File button on the Start/Stop/Reread tab of LMTools.
  • If not, please uninstall the current Origin version and install the supported version instead.


If you are running a Node-Locked license:

  • Please follow the instructions on this page to update your license with the new Maintenance date.
  • Or, in the Origin software, select Help: Activate License and click 'Activate'. This will update your license with the new Maintenance date.
