Tekla Structures 16.0 Server Address
How to Set Up Tekla Structures 16.0 Server Address
Tekla Structures is a powerful software for structural design and analysis. It allows you to create detailed 3D models of any type of structure and perform various calculations and simulations. To use Tekla Structures, you need a license that is activated on a license server. The license server can be installed on a separate computer in your network or on the same computer as Tekla Structures.

In this article, we will show you how to set up the Tekla Structures 16.0 server address, which is the address of the computer where the license server is installed. This is necessary if you installed Tekla Structures and the license server on different computers, or if you want to change the license server address for some reason.
There are several ways to set up the Tekla Structures 16.0 server address, depending on your preference and situation. We will cover four methods: using the Windows Registry, using Windows Environment Variables, using a batch file, and using a bypass.ini file.
Using the Windows Registry
The Windows Registry is a database that stores various settings and options for Windows and other applications. You can edit the registry to change the Tekla Structures 16.0 server address by following these steps:
Open the Start menu and type regedit in the search box. Press Enter to open the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Trimble\TeklaStructures\License
Double-click on the Server string value and enter the license server address in the Value data field. The format of the address is port@host, where port is the port number (usually 27007) and host is the name or IP address of the computer where the license server is installed. For example, 27007@my_company_server.
Click OK to save the changes and close the Registry Editor.
Restart Tekla Structures to apply the new server address.
Using Windows Environment Variables
Windows Environment Variables are variables that store information about the system and user environment. You can create a new environment variable to set the Tekla Structures 16.0 server address by following these steps:
Open the Start menu and right-click on Computer. Select Properties from the context menu.
In the System window, click on Advanced system settings on the left panel.
In the System Properties window, click on Environment Variables at the bottom.
In the Environment Variables window, click on New under either User variables or System variables, depending on whether you want to set the server address for only your user account or for all users of the computer.
In the New User Variable or New System Variable window, enter XS_LICENSE_SERVER_HOST in the Variable name field and enter the license server address in the Variable value field. The format of the address is port@host, where port is the port number (usually 27007) and host is the name or IP address of the computer where the license server is installed. For example, 27007@my_company_server.
Click OK to create the variable and close all windows.
Restart Tekla Structures to apply the new server address.
Using a Batch File
A batch file is a text file that contains a series of commands that can be executed by Windows. You can create a batch file to set the Tekla Structures 16.0 server address and launch Tekla Structures by following these steps:
Create a new text file using any text editor (such as Notepad) and save it with a .bat or .cmd extension (such as tekla.bat).
Type or copy-paste the following content into the file:set XS_LICENSE_SERVER_HOST=27007@my_company_server
start /D "C:\Program Files\Tekla Structures\16.0\nt\bin\" TeklaStructures.exe
exit /B c481cea774
