Question: Can SCIA Engineer work in Viewer Mode if you don't have a license to use the software?

Answer: SCIA Engineer can work in Viewer Mode if you don't have a license to use the software.

After installing SCIA Engineer: https://www.scia.net/en/scia-engineer/downloads

You can find SCIA Engineer XX.X Viewer via the Windows Home key.

There are limitations to the Viewer Mode:

• Currently, the Viewer Mode is only available for the old interface of SCIA Engineer.
• You cannot edit or calculate projects.
• If the project is saved with results, then you can view pre-calculated checks. This means that checks should already be pre-cached in the project (i.e., certain checks should have been generated earlier in non-viewer mode).
• Projects cannot be saved or exported to any file format.
