The Machine ID is a unique 10- or 14-digit number used by Smaart to identify a computer on your license. This number is not the same as a serial number or MAC address, and is used specifically by Smaart's licensing system.
You can easily view a computer's Machine ID from within your my.rationalacoustics.com account. However, you may need to find Smaart's Machine ID on a device to identify an active copy of Smaart or activate the software offline (Perpetual licenses only). There are a couple ways to find this identifier, depending on whether or not Smaart is activated.
Smaart is activated
- Open Smaart
- Click Help > About
- Smaart will display the Machine ID, as well as the current software version

For more information on deactivation, refer to this article.
Smaart is not activated

- Smaart v9: Click Perpetual > Offline Activation
 Smaart Data Modeler / SPL / v8 / Di v2: Click Offline Activation

For more information on offline activation, refer to this article.
