Maya 2009 Licensing Issue

I own Maya Complete 2009.  I purchased it in Oct 2008, installed it and the license, and have been using it happily ever since.  (I would love to upgrade but cannot afford to).

 

I moved to a new location a month ago.  I plugged in my computer and started up Maya no problem.  I've been using it every day this past month.

 

Yesterday, I switched my computer over to being on a wireless network, and now, Maya will not run.

>>>>"Maya 2009 could not be started because there are no appropriate licenses installed on this computer."

 

Luckily I save everything, including my activation email from 2008 with the attached .DAT license file.  So, I saved the file to my harddrive, and open the Product Configuration Tool.  I follow the steps and select the saved license, and I get this error:

>>>>>"The file contains invalid data.  ERROR: FEATURE  Maya Complete has invalid host identifier of ######### (line 1)."

 

(the ######### are representative of the real string of characters which I don't want to copy here)

 

I have also tried copying and pasting the content inside the file, but I get the same error.

 

Help please.

Problem is solved.

 

I had disabled my ethernet card since I didn't actually need it to get online anymore, but that was the hardware Maya was using to identify my computer.
