General

 

For the more current installation information you need to review this document located on our web site :

 

 

 

The Structural Engineering Library Version 6.0 ( SEL ) must be installed on each computer where it will be used. Whether you have individual licenses or a network license the software must reside on the actual computer to be used.

 

When using our installation program you have two choices : "Structural Engineering Library" and "Network License Manager".

 

Version 6.0 has a new license security system that "Activates" the software. For users that have a single license this involves entering a Product Control Code ( PCC ) and then using an [Activate] button to obtain activation permission from our Internet Activation Server.

 

You can install the SEL on ANY computer where you might want to use it. But it must be activated to be used. You can easily move the activation of the software around between all of your computers with the Internet based activation and deactivation ability.

 

For network users your PCC only activates the Network License Manager (NLM) (see below). You the install the SEL on all computers in your network that might like to use the software. No activation is needed on those computers....when they launch they simply get permission to run from the Network License Manager.

 

 

Typical Installation

 

We call this a "Single User License" but you can actually install on as many computers as you need to use the software on. You will install the software, paste in your "Product Control Code" and then request an Internet Activation.  You can then Deactivate and Activate the software to easily move the usage between the computers that you use.

 

 

Network Installation : Multi-User Licenses

 

Multi-User Network Installations require that the SEL be installed on each computer where it will be operated but you do not enter your Product Control Code into the SEL. The SEL gets permission to run from the Network License Manager.

 

If you have a Network version
