We recommend that you always update your
on-premises license server to the newest available version. Each license server version is
compatible with several versions of Tekla Structures.
Newer versions of Tekla Structures do not always work at all with older
on-premises license server versions.
You can use older versions of Tekla Structures with a newer version of the on-premises license server. You
might need to install a newer service pack of the older Tekla Structures
version.
-
Save the model that you are working with and close
Tekla Structures before the server update.
-
On the Windows
Start menu, go to .
-
On the
Stop/Start/Reread tab, click Stop
Server to stop the Tekla on-premises license server and any other
licensing services.
When you finish installing the Tekla
on-premises license server, you can restart the other licensing services.
-
Back up any files that you have
modified in the C:\Tekla\License\Server folder.
You do not need to back up the
tekla.lic or tekla.opt files
because the installer will not change these files.
-
Download the latest Tekla on-premises license server installation package.
-
Go to Trimble Downloads.
-
Select the version of
Tekla Structures that you use, then click All
downloads.
-
Scroll down to the
On-premises license tool section.
-
Download the Tekla License
Administration Tool.
-
Double-click the installation file to run the installation.
-
Follow the steps in the installation wizard to complete the installation.
For a standard setup, select
Automatic and complete the installation.
-
If you use the Tekla License
Borrow Tool, install the new version of the tool on workstations that need it.
