PLEASE NOTE: Only the latest version of ETABS 2015 (v15.2.3) will work with the ETABS 2016 license. This new version of ETABS 2015 (v15.2.3) can be downloaded from Customer Support Portal (do not download it from the CSI Installation Wizard). ETABS v15.2.3 is functionally identical to ETABS v15.2.2 except for the update to the licensing. Model files are interchangeable between the two versions, and both versions produce identical results to within the numerical accuracy of the computer. |
When running ETABS 2015 using a ETABS 2016 license, a level.txt is not required.
Please see your licensing option below for the appropriate locations for where the activated license should reside:
- Standalone license –
- License file: The ETABS 2016 license must be activated on this machine. Copy the "lservrc" file from Computers and Structures > ETABS 2016 folder into the Computers and Structures > ETABS 2015 folder. The "lservrc" file must be copied each time the ETABS 2016 license is activated on this machine. Once the ETABS 2016 license has been deactivated from this machine, ETABS 2015 product will also stop working.
- Network license – The ETABS 2016 license will reside on the server for a network license. Once the client machines have been updated to the correct version of ETABS 2015 (v15.2.3), the client machine will automatically pick up the ETABS 2016 network license.
