Changes in STAAD.Pro Connect edition interface.

I was using STAAD.pro version 6 earlier. I have bought a new Connect edition 21.0.01.12 version.

When I used it found that even basic items have been removed.

No SQL query generator is available.

There is licencing issue always worried about activation of related licences. 

New Qtly billing policy is freighting.

  • I fully agree that adapting to new changes is difficult. I had solved problem of load generation. Itihas about 800 loads generated.

    I tried to extract the names of load cases by openstaad VBA the STAAD application terminated.

    In earlier version advanced query would export information to MS Access database which could be used fir further reports.

  • Devendra : Regarding your concern on activation of license, in the Connect Edition, at the very beginning of a session you have the option to choose which license you are going to use. For example when you launch the STAAD.Pro Connect Edition, you are presented with a dialog box where you have to choose between basic and advanced. The dialog box can only be stopped from coming up if you uncheck the "Display this dialog on startup " check box.

      

     

    Also all the additional licenses can be checked or un-checked from the start-up screen using the check boxes located at the right hand bottom corner.

      

     

    So you are automatically protected against any unintended usage.

    Gumpmaster: Your analysis is right on the money. A big challenge for the development team is to bring in the changes without disrupting a workflow that depends on the editor as this is used by a large section of our users. The fact that we are trying to provide complete flexibility to users on how they want to do their modeling work ( physical or analytical ) and integrate the two, is posing a challenge and we are working towards finding a seamless solution.



  • Thank you for your detailed answer.

    New screens or Ribbons are no problem. Changes are always welcomes but my concern was

    SQL Query Generator because all users cannot be good at Vba or other programming techniques

    The purpose of my raising this question was in the licenses what does the following licenses mean

    • RAM connection 
    • Connection Client
    • Recommended Engine
    • Connect advisor
    • Staad Pro Global Design Codes

    I just want to use simple STAAD.Pro with no additional licences.

    None of additional License is checked.

    Is this configuration incurring some extra charges ?

    If yes how to remove this additional licenses.

    Other wise my question is answered

     

  • Does your company own a license of RAM Connection? If yes, have you installed it separately? 

    Also, STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition  comes with all design codes (except the nuclear codes). So there is no need of global design code, everything is available to you. You may want to use the specific codes you need and they should show activated in the License Management Tool. Everything else is okay.

       

  • Thanks for the reply.

    As per my fulfill document I have

    • STAAD.Pro 1
    • Open Access License Subscription

    I do not to use any other license. I also do not like to generate extra usage invoices. 

    Kindly guide.

  • Your License Management Tool shows that RAM Connection is 'activated'.

    You must uninstall RAM Connection (standalone if you have any), if not then you will need to clean up the registry to take RAM Connection off. You can look for RAM Connection entries in your registry and delete them. If you are not comfortable in changing the registry create a service request.

       

  • Thanks a lot I have managed through Registry Editor.
