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 Tekla organization (a user group for your company).

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 organization 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 organization. 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 Tekla organization.

  1. Create a Trimble Identity.

    For instructions, see Create a Trimble ID.

    We recommend that you use your company email address for your Trimble Identity.

  2. Complete the profile details in your Online Profile for Tekla products.
    1. From the Profile type list, select Professional.
    2. Fill in the required profile information.

      Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.

    3. Click Save
  3. Join your company's Tekla organization in one of the following ways:
    • If your company's administrator has invited you to an organization, go to the My organization page of your Online Profile, then click Accept.
    • On the My organization page of your Online Profile, select your organization, then click Send request.

      If there are no organizations listed, your email address does not match any existing organization's email domain. Contact your company's administrator for assistance.

    • Ask your company's administrator to invite you. You will receive the invitation in email or on the My organization page of your Online Profile. When you receive the invitation, accept the invitation.
    Note:

    The Tekla organization that you belong to can also affect your access to your organization's data stored in the cloud, such as Tekla Model Sharing models. Do not change between organizations unnecessarily.

    After you join your company's organization, you can see your organization's administrators on the My organization tab. On the My licenses tab, you can see the subscriptions or licenses assigned to you. If you do not see a subscription or license that you need, contact your administrator.

You can use now use your Trimble Identity to install and license Trimble products.
