This article explains how to install Solibri Office on a computer. Since Solibri Offline is machine-specific, you need to create a fingerprint file for each computer separately. The file is used to generate the Offline license in Solution Center. Finally, the license file is imported into Solibri.
When you have received the confirmation for Solibri Offline, you can see that an offline pool has been created for you in Solution Center and the Offline Licenses tab in SSC is enabled. You can now start the installation process.

Please note that if you've acquired the offline license prior to the release of Solibri v24.9. and wish to update your software to v24.9 or later, there's a change in activating the offline license. A new, preliminary step is required. See Preliminary Step: Adding the Offline License VM Option.

Please note that whenever there is a change in the second digit of our software version (e.g., from 24.5 to 24.9), you need to update your offline license to be able to use the new version.
If you've acquired the offline license prior to the release of Solibri v24.9. and wish to update your software to v24.9 or later, you need to add a VM option to the two Solibri configuration files to continue using your Offline Subscription until its expiration date:
-
Open the first VM Options file from C:\Program Files\Solibri\SOLIBRI\Solibri.vmoptions.
-
Add the following row to the file:
-Dssc-offline-license=true -
Save the changes.
-
Open the second VM Options file from C:\Program Files\Solibri\SOLIBRI\bin\Offline Licensing Tool.vmoptions.
-
Add the following row to the file:
-Dssc-offline-license=true -
Save the changes.
First, you need to create a fingerprint file:
-
Install Solibri into the computer which is going to use Solibri Offline.
-
Open File Explorer, browse to open the Bin folder and then the Offline licensing tool.exe file:
-
The Offline Licensing Tool opens:
-
Click Save Fingerprint.
-
The fingerprint file is created and you receive a notification:
-
If necessary, use for example a USB flash drive to save the fingerprint file so that it can be uploaded to SSC.
Next, the admin of the company account needs to generate the license for the fingerprint:
-
Sign in to SSC with your admin credentials.
-
Go to the Offline Licenses tab:
-
Select the offline license pool.
-
Upload the fingerprint file.
-
Add a description. The description is shown in the User License Details tab:
-
Click Generate Offline License.
-
A notification opens. To download the license file, click Download Offline License:
-
Save the license file:
Use for example a USB flash drive to import the file to the Offline Licensing Tool on the offline computer.
-
To close the notification, click Close.
Since the offline license is not user-specific, you can't sign in with your credentials and you need to set the user information manually. Once the offline license has been imported successfully, you can open Solibri and enter the information for username, reporting identity and organization.
