    Working Remotely with RAM or STAAD

      Product(s): All RAM and STAAD applications
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Environment:  Any
      Area:  Licensing, Installation

    We have assembled this wiki to help ensure a smooth transition of work from any location using RAM or STAAD applications.

    Machine Requirements

    There are several options to work remotely. You may decide to install the software on your home computer which is our recommendation, or connect to a work machine virtually using Remote Desktop Connection or other virtualization software. RAM and STAAD products will work on most machines running Windows, but we recommend Windows 10. For more see Recommended Computer Specifications for Structural Products

    Downloading Software

    All Bentley software is downloaded from the Bentley Software Downloads pages: https://softwaredownloads.bentley.com/

    STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition

    STAAD Foundation Advanced CONNECT Edition

    RAM Structural System CONNECT Edition

    RAM Elements CONNECT Edition

    RAM Connection CONNECT Edition

    RAM Concept CONNECT Edition

    General download and installation directions are available here.

    • You need to be a CONNECTED user to download and use RAM or STAAD.
    • During of installation of products, the CONNECTION Client will also be installed.
      • The Bentley CONNECTION Client is the mechanism to sign-in and entitle all current Bentley applications.
      • Sign-in using your work email address. If your company has a federated sign-in with Bentley, then the password will be your company password, otherwise use your Bentley password.
      • The System Clock should be accurate. We recommend the "Set time automatically" option in the Windows Date & time settings.
    • After initial connection, you can check out a licence to work offline if necessary, see Reserving a License
    • When starting any Ram or STAAD product the first time, be sure to select the right option or license tiers. If you are not sure which license option or tier to use check with your local administrator first. This CONNECT Licensing Guide - Analysis Products shows how and where to change the license configuration in our various applications.
