Tekla Structures multi-user server 2.5.0 hardware recommendations
The multi-user server allows users in the same local area network to work on different parts of the same model simultaneously. The model data is stored on a central server, so users need a fast and reliable network connection to the server to ensure good performance. If you have users in different locations, the cloud-based (separately licensed) Tekla Model Sharing features may be a better fit for you.
Operating system
Tekla Structures multi-user server 2.5.0 runs on the following operating systems:
-
64-bit Windows 8.1

Multi-user server hardware
The server that is used as the Tekla Structures multi-user server does not have to be very efficient or have maximum performance. You can run the Tekla Structures multi-user server on the same computer as, for example, Tekla License Server, as long as you have dedicated different TCP ports for each of the servers.
The multi-user server can be used in networks that use IPv4, IPv6, or both the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
Other infrastructure
Set up scheduled backups for the model data stored on your multi-user server and store the backups on a different computer.
The computers on the same multi-user network must have a unique IP address and identical Subnet masks.
The computer running the multi-user server should have a fixed IP address.
The Tekla Structures multi-user server runs as a service. This means that the Tekla Structures multi-user server always starts automatically when you start the computer, and is always available when the computer is running.
