Manage subscriptions for Tekla products
Depending on the product, subscription licenses for Tekla products are delivered and managed in the Tekla Online Admin Tool or in the Admin Console. The Tekla Online Admin Tool shows which Tekla licenses are managed in the Admin Console.
If you have licenses that are managed in the Tekla Online Admin Tool, you can assign subscription licenses to users in the Tekla Online Admin Tool.
Note: You cannot cancel subscriptions in the Tekla Online Admin Tool. To cancel a subscription, please contact your local support organization.
Users access their assigned subscription licenses by signing in to their Trimble Identity when they start a Tekla app, such as Tekla Structures or Tekla PowerFab.
Users can view their currently assigned subscription licenses on the Tekla licenses page of their Online Profile for Tekla products, or on the My Products page of their Trimble Identity.
All subscriptions might have some limitations on the country of use due to embargo and export control restrictions. For more information, see Trimble's end-user license agreement for Tekla software products.
For more information about subscriptions for specific Tekla products, see these pages:
Assign subscription licenses to users
If you manage licenses in the Tekla Online Admin Tool, assign your company's subscriptions for Tekla products and services to users. You can assign subscriptions to multiple users at the same time.
This task does not apply to Tekla licenses that you manage in the Admin Console. The Tekla Online Admin Tool shows which Tekla licenses are managed in the Admin Console.
Before you begin, add any new users to your company's account as employees or members.
When you have Named User licenses, each license seat can only be assigned to one user. You can assign the subscription to as many users as you have license seats. Named User licenses cannot be reassigned except as defined in Change of license type - End of sale of Standard, Flex, and Worldwide licenses. Make sure that you have selected the correct users when you assign licenses.
Note:
You are responsible for following the terms governing the use of each license, such as the countries where the license is allowed to be used.
