I've upgraded to STAAD.Pro V8i Select series 5 (SS5) and while analyzing I get the message:
"Copy/protection device system does not support BS5950-2000(British/steel) design code. The design will not be performed." I have not seen this in the previous version of the program.
From STAAD.Pro V8i Select series 5 (SS5) Build #20.07.10.41, the UK codes have been repackaged as below. Please contact your account manager to get this code pack included in your contract. If you need to use the code urgently, you may continue using the code in SS4 version. Both SS4 and SS5 can be installed on the same workstation.

NOTE:
The same has happened to all European Design codes. EN 1993-1-1:2005 (with all National Annexes), EN 1992-1-1:1991 and design codes of Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Spain and Sweden are all included in the ECC Super Codes license package in STAAD.Pro SELECTseries 5.
