Robot Structural Analysis publishing guidelines

When you register as a publisher, you'll see the complete requirements in the Publisher Agreement. This guide summarizes the key points — the agreement takes precedence if anything differs.

When you submit your app, the form collects everything needed for your listing — including content for the quick-start page that's included with downloads and viewable online.

Compatibility

Your product must be relevant to (and usable with) Robot Structural Analysis 2025 and run on all Windows operating systems supported by the Robot Structural Analysis 2025 product. If you indicate compatibility with one or more vertical products, you are responsible for testing your app with those products.

User privileges

Installers require elevated (admin) user privileges on Windows 10/11.

Product stability

Your product should be stable and not behave or alter the behavior of Robot Structural Analysis in a way that we deem unsuitable, for example, blocking standard Robot Structural Analysis functionality, blocking the functionality of another plug-in, causing data loss, etc.

HTML help page

When you submit your app, the documentation form generates a help page that's included with your download. Make sure your instructions are clear and actionable — users should be able to get started quickly. You can link to additional resources hosted on your website.

Ready to run

Your app must work immediately after installation — no manual file copying, registration, or settings changes required.

If your app uses licensing:

• Activate automatically (e.g., online activation), or
• Include a fully functional trial period long enough to deliver activation to the customer.

The Robot Structural Analysis SDK is included with your RSA installation. It includes tutorials, user guides, and code examples covering the RSA API.
