NOTE: This process may not work when versions are separated by more than one major release, in which case the license file for the older version should be requested. It is not possible to run V15 using V16 license, because the licensing system has changed between program versions. |
Example: Running SAP2000 v17 using a SAP2000 v18 license

PLEASE NOTE: Only CSiBridge 2014 (v16.1.0/1) will work with the CSiBridge 2015 (v17) license. Please check you have upgraded to this version. CSiBridge v16.1.0/1 is identical to CSiBridge v16.1.0 except for the update to the licensing. |
When running SAP2000 v17 using a SAP2000 v18 license, a level.txt is not required.
Please see your licensing option below for the appropriate locations for where the level.txt and activated license should reside:
- Standalone license –
- License file: The SAP2000 v18 license must be activated on this machine. Copy the "lservrc" file from Computers and Structures > SAP2000 18 folder into the Computers and Structures > SAP2000 17 folder. The "lservrc" file must be copied each time the v18 license is activated on this machine. Once v18 has been deactivated from this machine, SAP2000 v17 will also stop working.
- Network license – The SAP2000 v18 license will reside on the server for a network license. Once the client machines have been updated to the correct version of SAP2000 v17.3.0, the cilent machine will automatically pick up the SAP2000 v18 network ilcense.
