Question

I already have Tekla Structural Designer (or other Structural Design product) installed using a different license method (e.g. Sentinel Server) - how do I set it up to use Tekla Online Licensing?

Answer

Important: Ensure you have a Tekla Online Account and Online License

Prerequisites

First make sure you have all the following set up - to see how to do/ check this watch the video Using Tekla subscription licenses.  You need:

  • A Trimble Identity and Tekla Online Account
  • To be a member of your Organization
  • To have an Online License assigned to you

Setting up your computer to use a Tekla Online License 

  1. To ensure you have the latest version of the License Service, download the latest Tekla License Service version 3.01 (or later) from Tekla Downloads
  2. Install the Tekla Structural License Service you have downloaded.  When asked to choose which components to install, only enable the Tekla Client License Manager option*.

    1. *You should only install the top two components if your computer is also acting as a license server for Server (Sentinel RMS) licenses, which is a less common circumstance.
  3. Press the Windows Key on your keyboard, or click the Windows button, and start typing System and User settings.
