About subscriptions for Tekla Structures
Tekla Structures subscriptions are purchased as a recurring or fixed-term subscription. The subscriptions unlock the Tekla Structures Carbon, Graphite, or Diamond configurations, which progressively enable more product features.
Tekla Structures subscriptions are user licenses. Each user must have their own Trimble Identity and Tekla Structures subscription license seat. As an administrator, you can assign license seats to both employees and external license users.
It is not possible to use Tekla Structures simultaneously on different computers with the same subscription license. Users must sign out and exit Tekla Structures or close Tekla Structures without keeping the subscription license reserved to be able to use the subscription on a different computer.
Tekla Structures subscriptions can be used offline for up to 72 hours. Users can keep the subscription reserved for offline use even when they close Tekla Structures.
Tekla Structures subscription license types
Different license types provide different levels of flexibility. The license type determines how many times license seats can be reassigned from one user to another, and the country where the license is allowed to be used.
| License type | License seat assignment | Country of use |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Maximum of four assignments in each calendar year | Only within the country of purchase |
| Flex | No limitations | Only within the country of purchase |
| Worldwide | No limitations | No limitations |
| Named User | Only the first assignment is allowed. This license type cannot be reassigned except as defined in Change of license type - End of sale of Standard, Flex, and Worldwide licenses.. | No limitations |
All license types might have some limitations due to embargo and export control restrictions. For more information, see Trimble's end-user license agreement for Tekla software products.
About subscriptions for older Tekla Structures versions
Tekla Structures subscriptions can be used to license Tekla Structures 2019 and higher. When used with a version earlier than Tekla Structures 2021, the subscription activates one of these configurations:
-
A Tekla Structures Carbon license activates the Project viewer or Production planner configuration.
-
A Tekla Structures Graphite license activates the Rebar Detailing or Production planner configuration.
- A Tekla Structures Diamond license activates the Full configuration.
In Tekla Structures 2021 or later, the same license allows you to open multiple instances of Tekla Structures on the same computer. The following earlier versions and service packs also allow you to open multiple instances of Tekla Structures:
-
2019i SP10 or later
-
2019 SP12 or later
-
2020 SP9 or later
For earlier versions and service packs, the same license does not allow opening an older version of Tekla Structures together with a newer version of Tekla Structures on the same computer.
Note:
Although permitted by licensing, simultaneously running multiple instances of Tekla Structures on the same computer might cause errors in some features, such as extensions.
About subscriptions for the Tekla Partner configuration
Subscriptions for the Tekla Partner configuration can be used only for purposes of application and BIM content development as part of the Tekla Partners Program. Use for other commercial purposes including, but not limited to, modeling, detailing, or fabrication is explicitly excluded.
Subscriptions for the Tekla Partner configuration are user licenses. Each user must have their own Trimble Identity and Tekla Structures subscription license seat. There are no limits for how many times you can reassign the subscription license seats.
The terms of the Tekla Partner program only allow you to assign Tekla Partner subscription license seats to people who are directly employed by your company. For example, you are not allowed to assign your Tekla Partner subscription license seats to subcontracted resources who are employed by another company. The company that employs the subcontracted resources must enter the Tekla Partners Program separately and assign its own subscription license seats to its employees.
Note: Some existing users might have legacy Tekla Partner configuration licenses that can be assigned to any number of users at the same time. For these users, the number of licenses that you have determines the maximum number of concurrent users.
For more information about the Tekla Partners program, visit the Tekla Developer Center.
