There are some cases that during the installation users chose not to activate the product and run it for 30 days under trial period. When the trial is over ProStructures it will then give a message to Activate the license. Pleasesee below the steps on how to Activate the license.
2. Open ProStructures then Check the license settings, you can do this by.
NOTE: It is important that you check this settings before activating the product. If the settings does not match with the license that you have this will cause to give you a prompt to activate the license every time you open the software.
For this scenario I have a valid license for ProSteel Professional/AutoPLANT Structural Detailer but does not have a license for ProConcrete.

Hosted means: Your applications connect directly to a Bentley Hosted SELECTserver via the internet using the server name selectserver.bentley.com.
7. When selecting the "SELECT subscriber activating against a hosted (Bentley) SELECTserver," the server name will be filled in by default.
Fill in the Site Activation Key in the Site Activation Key box. Due to the length of the site activation key, it is recommended that each user copy and paste the information directly into the license management tool. Also, be sure there are no extra spaces before or after the server name and site activation key as this can prevent a proper activation.
8. Once entered the Activation Key, Click Test Connection. You should get this message

Double check the activation key, there should be no spaces before or after. If you have verified you have entered it correctly and still getting the same error please call the Technical Support hotline. You can't proceed with the product activation.
