    Warning : Design code license is not activated

      Applies To 
      Product: STAAD.Pro
    First Affected Version: 20.07.11.82
      Found in Version: 20.07.11.82
    Fixed in Version: 20.07.11.90
    Environment: All
      Area:  Design
    Subarea: N/A
      Issue #: 531839

    Problem Description

    (This issue has been addressed in the STAAD.Pro version 20.07.11.90)

    Warning message saying 'Warning, Design code license is not activated. Please activate the license in order to use the code' when trying to add a design parameter or design command for many design codes like ACI, AITC, EN 1993-1-1:2005, Aluminum etc.

    Steps to Reproduce

    1. Go to Design page inside Modeling Mode.
    2. Select Steel and choose EN 1993-1-1:2005 as Current Code
    3. Click on Define Parameters
    4. Select any parameter and click on Add

    The same issue has been observed for some other country codes as well.

    Workaround

    While adding the first design parameter, select the last defined command from the tree structure. Click on the Define Parameters or Commands button as appropriate and check the box 'After Current' before clicking on the Add button. The design parameter/command can then be added. Subsequently all other design parameters or design commands can be added as usual without any errors.

    In case you still get the same error message, please open up the input command file ( can be accessed from the top menu Edit > Edit Input Command File ) and add a couple of design related commands that you would normally define to start the design for concrete/steel. Once you are done, save and close the editor. Subsequently you would be able to add as many design parameters you need to using the graphic user interface and carry out the design. A couple of samples, one for concrete and another one for steel, are shown below for reference. The commands in bold are the ones added using the editor

    Sample command for concrete design as per ACI code

    ...
    PDELTA 20 ANALYSIS
    START CONCRETE DESIGN
    CODE ACI
    ...

    Sample command for steel design as per AISC 360-10 code
    ...
    PDELTA 20 ANALYSIS
    PARAMETER 1
    CODE AISC UNIFIED 2010
    ...

     

    Solution

    This issue has been addressed in the STAAD.Pro version 20.07.11.90
