Installation Notes

  • The SAP2000 Student Demo has a built-in license. If you get alerts that your license will expire soon, check back here for an updated version and/or license.
  • For version 23, the vendor sent us a license extension that must be installed manually. You can update your license as follows:
    • If you don't already have it installed, first install the SAP2000 v23 student demo using the below link. It has a built-in license that expired 03 Feb 2022, but that's not a problem -- in the next step you will update the license.
    • Download the lservrc file below and copy it to the following folder on your computer:
      C:\Program Files\Computers and Structures\SAP2000 23
      Note: There will already be an existing lservrc file there -- replace it with this newer version.
    • You should now be able to run SAP2000 v23 with a license expiration of 09 January 2024.
