On-premises (Perpetual) Licenses
Attention:
For perpetual licenses using Sentinel RMS (both local and server), Tekla Structural Designer 2024 will require the activation of a new 2024 version license. You should already have received your 2024 Product Activation Key (PAK) as these are distributed prior to the software release. Please contact your local Service Department now if you do not have your PAK. To minimize any down time, we recommend you activate your PAK BEFORE installing this release.
Attention:
License Server Version - if you are using Sentinel RMS Server Licenses, we strongly recommend the Tekla Structural License Service on your license server is updated now to version 5.0 or later. The installation for this can be obtained from Tekla Downloads.
- For more information about this please see the Tekla Structural License Service Release Notes for V5.0.0.0.
