Why Register?
Without a valid registration key, SlabWorks™ is fully functional except for the length and width of the slab, which are fixed. Therefore, the program cannot be used for design or analysis unless a registered version is obtained. Registration is required in order that updated version of the software can distributed to end users in the event that critical bugs or errors in the software are found. Without registration, there is no way to insure that all users of the program are notified. How To Register There is currently no charge for registration. This may change in the future, and updated versions may require the purchase of a license. The registered version of SlabWorks™ is only available to licensed professional engineers (civil, structural or geotechnical). SlabWorks™ is currently registered only to engineers, not companies. Two methods of registration are available, e-mail and regular mail: By e-mail: To register, you must send an e-mail to SlabWorks@slabongrade.net. The subject must line of the e-mail must read ”SLABWORKS™ REGISTRATION”. In the body of the e-mail includes only your name (First and Last), state of registration, company name and PE number. We will only respond to e-mails from the domain associated with the company that is listed as your employer with the appropriate state board of registration. For example, if the state board lists your employer as XYZengineering, will we respond to e-mail from Bob.Jones@XYZengineering, but will not respond to Bob.Jones@msn.com. If you do not have an email address associated with your company’s domain name, or if the employer listed with the state board is incorrect, you will not be able to register the program by e-mail. Be prepared to wait as long as 3 weeks to obtain a registration code. By
regular mail: We will mail a registration code for the program to the
address listed with the state board of registration for the associated
PE number if a self-addressed, stamped envelope and a letter containing
your name (First and Last), company name, state of registration, PE
number and e-mail address is sent to:
