Application Assistant. Then
go to the Activate menu and
select Activate Network/Corporate License. In the Network License
Server window that appears, check the box for ‘Discover Active
License Server(s) In Current
Subnet’ and click on the button
Scan Network.

The program should locate list


of servers in the drop-down list. Select the server which is running
the REI Network License Manager. Then click on the button Scan
For Installed Licenses. In the list that appears for Available
License(s), locate the feature called NGSOFT01. Select this license
and click on the Select button.

Start STAAD.Pro 2004. The program should now open properly and
