Connect Tekla Structures to the on-premises license server
If the on-premises license server is installed on a different computer than Tekla Structures, connect Tekla Structures to the on-premises license server when you start Tekla Structures for the first time.
If you installed the on-premises license server on the same computer as Tekla Structures and successfully activated your license, the license is reserved automatically without any further action. The on-premises license server is always running in the background as the Tekla Licensing Service Windows service.
If the on-premises license server is installed on a different computer, you must tell Tekla Structures the name of the on-premises license server computer in your internal network so that your computer can contact the on-premises license server computer.
