Problem Description
When RAM Elements is opened, it also retrieves a RAM Connection license. This behavior may not be desirable for the following reasons:
- An engineer is not modeling connections within RAM Elements, causing unnecessary license usage.
- Another engineer using RAM Connection Standalone requires access to the program at the same time.
Reason
By default, RAM Elements attempts to enable the RAM Connection integration features within the program. If a RAM Connection license is available, the program will retrieve a license automatically and add a Connection button to the Databases ribbon. If the integration features are not needed, this behavior can be disabled.
Steps to Resolve
- Open the E menu in the upper left.
- Click the General Configuration button in the lower right corner.
![]()
- In the window that appears, click the License tab.
- Then clear the checkbox labeled "Check RAM Connection license."
![]()
- Click OK to save changes.
RAM Elements will disable the RAM Connection integration features and will no longer automatically retrieve a license for RAM Connection.
