Hey y'all - I'm installing a piece of software (legit, licensed software) and it's throwing up a "System Clock Has Been Set Back (-40)" error when I try to activate the node locked license. I've double checked the license with the vendor and all is fine and we even generated a second just to test. It'll install on one of my two work machines just fine but this other work computer (a Razor 17" Blade Pro laptop from 2017) just won't accept it. I've done a full reset of the PC... still the same thing.

In my research this indicates something wrong with the system clock or future dated files on the computer.

The system clock seems to be just fine. The BIOS clock is accurate and fine as well. I've tried all manner of toggling auto-sync time/manual settings/etc. Nothing.

I'm on Windows 10 Home 64 Bit.

Is there a way to do a blanket "Search for future files" in all of my root drive?

Is there anything else anyone can think of? The vendor is stumped (as it usually just means an improper synced system clock) and so am I.

Anyway just a complete actual full wipe (not just reset) fixed whatever funky issue it was
