I am looking to upgrade to STAADPro Select from STAADPro V8i. Can someone help me with licensing. Does my current license cover this?
If you have a SELECT agreement, then yes. Upgrades are one of the benefits of a SELECT agreement.
We purchased the Structural Enterprise Perpetual License with the maintenance agreement (the maintenance agreement is called Structural Enterprise SELECT Sub) Is this the SELECT agreement you speak of?
Yes, the maintenance agreement is synonymous with a SELECT agreement. As long as you maintain your SELECT agreement for Structural Enterprise, you are eligible for the latest versions of products covered by it. STAAD.Pro is one of the products covered by the Structural Enterprise license. For more information about other covered products, please refer to the Structural Enterprise Data Sheet.
The license tool now says "Structural SELECT Entitlements" but no longer lists the individual programs included. I assume Staad Pro Advanced is include in the structural enterprise license, but I do not see it in the older lists. RCDC says to select Staad Pro Advanced if you have structural enterprise.
I am unsure why the name is displaying differently for you, but if you select it and click the CheckOut button, you will be presented with a list of covered child products. This is an easy way to determine what products are covered by the Structural Enterprise. STAAD.Pro Advanced is included in the list.
