How to: Get access to Stabicad software downloads and installation files
Not version-specific
Stabicad
Context: Why is the download page restricted? To download Stabicad, you navigate to the general download page (
download.trimble.com) and log in using your Trimble Identity (TID). However, not everyone in your organization has access to this by default; usually, this is reserved for a new customer or the registered 'Delivery Contact'.We have deliberately set up this access in a controlled manner. This prevents the situation where an individual employee accidentally updates the company's central SQL database. Because projects are version-dependent, such an update would mean that all employees and projects must immediately migrate to the new version, which can cause major issues if not properly planned.
Solution: Error message when logging in If your Trimble ID is not authorized to download software, you will see the following error message when trying to access the download page:
"Please login with an account which has access to downloads. If you have a license you may also contact your local support to give you access."
If you receive this message and require the files, follow these steps:
- Check within your company (with your IT administrator or BIM manager) who the Delivery Contact is; this person can download the software for you.
- Do you need direct access to the downloads yourself? Go to the Trimble Support Portal (
my.trimble.com) and submit a support case to request access, or contact the helpdesk directly by phone to have your account authorized.
Note for Students and Educational Institutions Are you a student? If so, you cannot request direct access to the download page from the helpdesk. Students must at all times obtain the Stabicad installation files through their teacher or the administrator of their educational institution.
