Required license and DLLs#

For reading and writing to the CDBase no license is necessary for the sof_cdb_w-2026.dll (Excel 64-bit).

The sof_q-2026.dll (Excel 64-bit) requires a license and without the license you won’t be able to use the functions.

The DLLs can be found in following directories:

C:\<sofistik_installation>\2026\SOFiSTiK 2026\interfaces\64bit

In case you are using an educational license you should use the DLLs with the suffix _edu.

E.g. for 64-bit DLLs (<sofistik_installation_path>/interfaces/64bit)

sof_cdb_w_edu-2026.dll
sof_cdb_w_edu_dll.lib
