Compatibility

We suggest that you complete any unfinished models using your current version of Tekla Structures.

This version is not backwards compatible. When you create or save a model in Tekla Structures 2019, you cannot open it in older versions due to database differences.

See the Tekla Structures 2019 Hardware Recommendations for more information.

Tekla Structures 2019 requires Tekla License Server 2017 or later. To check which license server version to use with your current Tekla Structures version, see Which license server version to use.
