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
