I have just purchased a license (for example after completing a Tedds trial) and received my product activation key (PAK) but I am getting this error when trying to activate this. Why is this?

The product activation key you have entered is not a local Computer Locked license product activation key

Solution

When you purchase a license, by default you will be provided with a Server license, however a Tekla Tedds trial license for example is a local license.  Alternatively you may not have realized you have receeived a server license for a new purchase and installed Tedds using the Local Computer locked license method.  If so, in order to use your newly purchased license, you just need to do a few simple steps to reconfigure your machine.
