Problem Description:
I have signed for Select Open Access (SOA); I installed STAAD.foundation software; when I try to run it, I'm getting a message "Could not find license of STAAD.Foundation".
Reason:
From STAAD.Pro Select Series 3 and later version, STAAD.foundation has been included in STAAD.Pro license.
Solution: Please do not run STAAD.foundation as a stand-alone mode. You must access it from STAAD.Pro V8i as shown here. You can use it from the tab 'Foundation Design' or from the drop-down Menu under 'Mode'. This is initially greyed out, it becomes active once you have analyzed the file.
P.S. Under SOA, you are entitled to run STAAD Foundation Advanced version; we strongly recommend that you use it instead of the basic version of STAAD Foundation. STAAD Foundation Advanced needs to be installed separately.
