Welcome to TUFLOW. This is a page for new users outlining the steps required to install and run TUFLOW for the first time. TUFLOW simulations can be executed using a variety of licence hosting approaches. Instructions are provided below for all available methods: |
||
* '''Licence Free Mode''': A licence free mode has been built into TUFLOW. For information outlining the limits associated with the licence free mode, see <u>[[New_User_Guide_Free_Demo_Version | TUFLOW Free DEMO Version Guide]]</u> |
|||
* '''Education Licence Options''': a variety of options are available for education institutions depending on the intended licence use: <u>[[Education_Licence_New_User_Guide|Education Licence Options]]</u> |
|||
the standard TUFLOW setup steps are listed below for the three common licence types: |
|||
* '''Local Licence''': In this form TUFLOW simulations can only be run on the computer hosting the licence lock. For installation guidance see: |

Introduction
Welcome to TUFLOW. This is a page for new users outlining the steps required to install and run TUFLOW for the first time. TUFLOW simulations can be executed using a variety of licence hosting approaches. Instructions are provided below for all available methods:
- Licence Free Mode: A licence free mode has been built into TUFLOW. For information outlining the limits associated with the licence free mode, see TUFLOW Free DEMO Version Guide
- Education Licence Options: a variety of options are available for education institutions depending on the intended licence use: Education Licence Options
- Local Licence: In this form TUFLOW simulations can only be run on the computer hosting the licence lock. For installation guidance see:
- Network Licence: In this form the licence lock can be hosted on any computer or server. Other computers 'check out' licences from the host computer via a company’s network. For installation guidance see:
- Network Cloud Licence: In this form, the licence lock is hosted on a WIBU cloud server. For installation guidance see:
- Cloud Direct Licence Installation Guide: All modelling computers link directly to the WIBU server over an internet connection.
- Cloud Server Licence Installation Guide: A company server acts as the licence host, linked to the WIBU server over an internet connection. Modelling computers are connected to the company server via the company’s network.
