What are Structural SELECT Entitlements? This is listed under Additional Licenses on STAAD's opening page.
Hi Tank. Structural SELECT Entitlements are simply features in STAAD that are available only to accounts on Bentley's SELECT or ELS programs. This concept was first introduced in STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition V22. The Steel Autodrafter and Building Planner workflows in STAAD.Pro are presently the only two SELECT Entitlements in STAAD. There is no way to turn these features on if you are not on SELECT or ELS. This was shown in the license dialog as a quick means of verifying access. Taken from this wiki.
So Steel Autodrafter is included in the price of STAAD?
Correct, it's included with STAAD.Pro SELECT. No additional license needed.
The Structural SELECT Entitlements in the select series comes under head of Additional Licenses. Does it mean that when we click on it while starting the STAAD, it will be considered as one license? Or its considered only once we start the using Autodrafter? If we have not purchased the Structural SELECT Entitlements and use it will it be charged as per CSS rates?
With SELECT Entitlements there is no a la carte price. It's just included with maintenance on STAAD.Pro, so if you are on SELECT you might as well turn it on all the time.
