Hi @gaiallaplaya,

To use your AMPL for new graduates on Colab please reply to the email that was sent to you with the license file asking to switch to a dynamic cloud license (you can link this topic in the email). Meanwhile you can use a Community Edition License ([https://ampl.com/ce](https://ampl.com/ce)).

You will receive a license UUID that you can then use on Colab (see, e.g, [https://colab.ampl.com](https://colab.ampl.com) and [https://try.ampl.com](https://try.ampl.com)).
