The STAAD.Pro Advanced license ( Advanced Analysis Plus Engine license for STAAD.Pro v8i ) brings with it the following advantages :

1. Memory efficient eigensolution method like Arnoldi/Lanczos for solving large scale eigen problems
2. Load dependent Ritz Vector for efficiently extracting relevant modes for fast and accurate calculation of structural responses. This is particularly useful for large models where huge number of modes has to be extracted to get adequate mass participation.
3. Geometric Non-linear Analysis
4. Pushover Analysis
5. Steady State Analysis
6. Buckling Analysis by eignesolution with ability to plot the buckling mode shapes 
7. Advanced Non Linear Cable Analysis
8. Floor Response Spectrum
9. Access to full capabilities of the STAAD Advanced Concrete Design (RCDC)

In STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition, you must configure your license to use STAAD.Pro Advanced feature as shown here. 

To use Advanced Analysis capabilities within STAAD.pro SELECT series 6, the user must specifically request the use of the Advanced Analysis Plus Engine option on the start screen:

Otherwise, when attempting to run one of the Advanced Analysis options the following type of warning will appear:
