Is it possible to 'borrow' licences from the server?
Answer
No, our current licensing system has no lending function – regardless of the physical (hardlock, USB dongle) or digital (softlock) software protection variant.
In contrast to the physical variant, the digital software protection technology also provides a 'rehost' function in order to transfer the digital software protection system from one computer to another. However, this transfer does not mean it is possible to transfer a single licence for a particular program of our product range, but the entire licensing that is controlled by the respective softlock. Thus, you can only transfer the digital software protection to another computer by plugging the physical software protection key to another computer.

Structural Analysis Models to Download
You can download here a wide range of structural models (for example, RFEM, RSTAB, or RWIND files) that you can use for training purposes or for your projects.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- I have installed Rhino 7. When trying to export the model to RFEM, the data are not transferred. What do I wrong?
- How can I find out in which version of RFEM/RSTAB was the model saved?
- I cannot activate an add-on module by using a Remote Desktop. Can you explain the error message to me?
- I would like to import a large, curved surface from Rhino into RFEM, but I get the following error message: "Command: ExportToRFEM5. Nodes compare tolerance is set too low. You could adjust it by document units settings. Export error. Error to write data, message: Coordinate Z is out of range. Export to RFEM finished." How can I fix this error?
- I often edit the reinforcement provided by the program. Adjusting the reinforcement by using coordinates takes much effort and time if having several beams in the model. Is there any way to speed up the reinforcement editing?
- I design timber components. The deformations of load combinations deviate from the manual calculation exactly by the factor of the material partial safety factor. Why?
- How is an inflatable object simulated in RFEM?
- I have already divided my membrane roof into individual surfaces. Can I quickly create a cutting pattern from these surfaces?
- How do I display the load combination description according to an action category, such as "D, L, W," instead of "LC1, LC2, LC3"?
- How can I edit the list of parameters by using the COM interface?
