We recommend that you always install
the newest version of Tekla on-premises license server software. New 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You can use older versions of Tekla Structures with a newer version of the on-premises license server. In
some older Tekla Structures versions, this requires that you have
installed recent enough updates. For more information about the compatibility
between Tekla Structures versions and Tekla on-premises license server
versions, see Hardware
recommendations for Tekla license server.
