Cannot install – licence error

[DrWino]

I cannot install NoMachine on Linux laptop 86x-64. Ubuntu 24.04. Had no problems installing it on RPI5 running Ubuntu 24.04. I can see that RPI5 on another Linux laptop,  but cannot get the client to install on this new laptop. Keeps giving license error:

udo apt install ./nomachine_9.2.18_3_i386.deb

Hi, this looks like you installed the wrong package. You have 86x-64 architecture which means you require 64-bit packages.
It’s the second button here: https://download.nomachine.com/download/?id=1&platform=linux.
