Note
MFTire 6.12, MFTire 6.202, or MFTire 6.203 can be used. RecurDyn supplies the MFTire library files required for three versions of MFTire. To use either of these versions, the user must already have a valid license for MFTire installed on the computer. MFTire 6.12 and 6.202/6.203 require different license management software. Therefore, the user must use the MFTire library that matches the MFTire license installed on the computer. By default, after installation of RecurDyn, the MFTire library files for 6.203 are used. The user can change the version of the MFTire library by manually copying all files stored in the directory.
