In order to activate a license you must do one of the following procedures:
Purchase a valid TridiCAD Form license via our online shop or thru tridicad@tridi-cad.com - be free to ask any questions to our team!
Get a trial license - We currently offer a 7-day test license for our potential customers - you can request it in our Request Trial page.
You must have internet connection.
Once you get a valid license, it is easy to validate it and use the programs:
Check the License button at the Formwork Parts/Utilities ribbon or type in the command prompt REGISTERTDC
You will see the following screen - copy the product key you received in your e-mail and paste it exactly as it shows (Format "XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX".


Click on the Validate License button - you should have a successful message
Now, restart your CAD software for the configurations to take effect
Our licenses are cloud-based, so you must have internet connection to perform validation, as well as, starting the program everytime you use it.
In case you need to switch the license to a different computer or reinstall the operational system, perform the following steps to return the license to our servers.
Check the License button at the Formwork Parts/Utilities ribbon or type in the command prompt REGISTERTDC
You should see the License Manager screen, but this time, you will see a Return License button.
Simply click the button and wait for the return process to finish.
You will now be able to activate the license in a different computer or in a newly installed operational system.
