Use Tekla Structures on different computers

Your Tekla Structures subscription is connected to your Trimble Identity, not to a specific computer. You can sign in to your Trimble Identity to use Tekla Structures on any computer, but you can only use it on one computer at a time.

Note: If you have a Tekla Structures trial subscription, you can only use Tekla Structures on the computer where you activated the subscription.

If your Tekla Structures subscription license seat is reserved on the computer where you are currently using Tekla Structures, you must release your subscription license seat before you can use Tekla Structures on a different computer.

If you frequently use Tekla Structures on different computers, we recommend that you set the value of the XS_DEFAULT_KEEP_ONLINE_LICENSE_CHECKBOX advanced option to FALSE so that your subscription license seat is not automatically kept reserved when you close Tekla Structures.

Release your Tekla Structures subscription license seat

To use Tekla Structures on a different computer, release your subscription license seat on the computer where it is currently reserved.

Note: If you use more than one version of Tekla Structures, you must release your subscription license seat in all versions where it is reserved.

Start Tekla Structures, then open a model.
Close Tekla Structures and clear the Keep this license reserved on this device check box in the closing confirmation message dialog box.

For instructions to release your subscription license seat in older versions, see Tekla Structures product bulletin: Subscription license not released after closing Tekla Structures.

You can now start Tekla Structures on a different computer.
