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>
* '''Local Licence''': In this form TUFLOW simulations can only be run on the computer hosting the licence lock. For installation guidance see:
<ol>
* <u>[[New_User_Guide_Local_Hardware_Licences | Local Licence USB Hardware Lock (USB) Installation Guide]]</u><br>
* <u>[[New_User_Guide_Local_Software_Licences | Local Licence USB Software Lock (Digital) Installation Guide]]</u><br>
* <u>[[New_User_Guide_Local_Hardware_Licences (Blank) | Local Licence USB Hardware Lock (USB) Installation Guide - Blank]]</u><br>
 
</ol>
The standard TUFLOW setup steps are listed below.
* '''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:

<li> Run TUFLOW using any of the options listed in the <u>[[Running_TUFLOW | Running TUFLOW ]]</u> section of the Wiki.
* '''Network Cloud Licence''': In this form, the licence lock is hosted on a WIBU cloud server. For installation guidance see:
<li> After gaining an understanding of TUFLOW through the tutorial model dataset you may be interested in developing some of your own models for testing. A free Demo option is included within the standard TUFLOW executable. The free Demo version is fully enabled, though has the following limits:
<ol>
:*100,000 total cells and 30,000 active (potentially flooded) cells
* <u>[[New_User_Guide_Cloud_Direct_Licences | Cloud Direct Licence Installation Guide]]</u>: All modelling computers link directly to the WIBU server over an internet connection.<br>
:*100 1D channels
* <u>[[New_User_Guide_Cloud_Server_Licences |Cloud Server Licence Installation Guide]]</u>: 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.<br>
:*There can on be is only one 2D domain (multiple 2D domains are not supported)
:*A simulation time of 10 minutes.
The free Demo mode is called using the TUFLOW Control File (TCF) command: <font color="blue"><tt>Demo Model </tt></font> <font color="red"><tt>== </tt></font><tt>ON</tt><br>
<li> Over 60 example models demonstrating the most commonly used TUFLOW features are available from the <u>[[Example_Models_Home_page | Example Models]]</u> section of the Wiki. These models call the Demo mode mentioned above, and as such don't require a licence to run. Use these models to learn how to implement features not included in the TUFLOW Tutorials. Refer to the <u>[https://www.tuflow.com/Tuflow%20Documentation.aspx TUFLOW Manual]</u> for further supporting information.
<li> Other useful information is contained in the Wiki. In particular new users often find the <u>[[Main_Page | Tips and Tricks]]</u> section on the right-hand side of the home page and the <u>[[TUFLOW_Modelling_Guidance | Modelling Guidance]]</u> sections particularly useful.
<li> Please email <font color="blue"><u>support@tuflow.com</u></font> if you have any technical questions or <font color="blue"><u>sales@tuflow.com</u></font> if you would like to purchase a licence. Price information is available from the <u>[https://www.tuflow.com/Prices.aspx TUFLOW Website]</u>
