: The server service itself is not resource-intensive; it can even run on the same machine as the Tekla License Server if necessary. Official Download and Installation
The 2.5.0 version is a robust, lightweight service that provides several critical improvements over its predecessors:
: A fixed IP address is recommended for the server computer. By default, it uses TCP port 1240 for communication, which must be open in the firewall. : The server service itself is not resource-intensive;
: Officially supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 (64-bit), as well as Windows Server 2022.
: Specifically for Tekla Structures 2017 and later, this version includes critical fixes for drawing locks during multi-user sessions. Technical Requirements : Officially supports Windows 10 and Windows 11

Understanding the Tekla Structures Multi-user Server 2.5.0 is a specialized companion service designed for Trimble's Tekla Structures software. It allows multiple team members within the same local area network (LAN) to work on different parts of the same building information model (BIM) simultaneously without data conflicts. Understanding the Tekla Structures Multi-user Server 2
To ensure stable performance, the server should be installed on a machine with a reliable connection.
: The server manages a "master model" and coordinates write locks. When a user saves or numbers the model, it temporarily locks out others to prevent data corruption.
While newer cloud-based solutions like Tekla Model Sharing are now the primary recommendation for distributed teams, the Multi-user Server remains a vital tool for single-office environments requiring real-time, on-premises collaboration. Key Features of Version 2.5.0
