Anyone have a good suggestion for software that will allow me to decode a license.dat file?

I just got an my old fabrication school computer under the guise that the Solidworks was still working, however the licenses have all expired. I have a current license good through 2020 because of a good friend, however I will not be able to reinstall the software on the old computer.
Don't ask... It's an even longer and more boring story...
I just want to be able to decrypt the file and switch the wrong license number for the correct one.

The file might be Flexlm, but then again, might not be. Oh and it is the 2009 version.

Thanks in advance for any help!
