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 software; we strongly recommend that you use it instead of the basic version of STAAD Foundation. STAAD Foundation has been retired and has been replaced by STAAD Foundation Advanced. STAAD Foundation Advanced needs to be installed separately.
