Create your Trimble Identity for Tekla products

You need a Trimble Identity to download Tekla products and to use your subscriptions. The Trimble Identity is connected to a company account (a user group for your company).

Signing in to your Trimble Identity requires multi-factor authentication (MFA) or 2-step verification. If your company has not enabled MFA for you, you can set up MFA methods when you create your Trimble Identity.

If you do not use MFA, 2-step verification is automatically enabled for you using the one-time passcode (OTP) method. One-time passcodes are temporary single-use codes that verify your identity each time that you sign in. When you sign in to your Trimble Identity, a verification code is sent to the email address that you used to create your Trimble Identity. You must enter the code to complete the sign-in process.

Create a Trimble Identity as the named contact for your company

If you do not already have any Trimble products, you must create a Trimble Identity when you purchase your first subscription or license. When your company purchases a subscription or license for a Tekla product, one user is designated as the named contact for the company.

If you are the named contact for your company, Trimble invites you to your company's account and sends you an email with an invitation to complete your Trimble Identity account creation. Create your Trimble Identity using the link in this email and make sure that you fill in all of the required user profile information.

After you have created your Trimble Identity, you receive an email to accept membership in your new account. As the named contact, you have administrator rights and can add other administrators and users. For more information, see Manage user accounts for Tekla products.

Create a Trimble Identity as a commercial user or administrator

If you are a commercial user of a Tekla product or an administrator who manages Tekla products for other users, create your Trimble Identity, then join your company's account as an employee.
