Nowdays ... most of softwares connected to their servers ... and I expect why anti virus detecting these cracks as a virual infection to pc ...
I am not specialest in these issues ..but the best way to avoid this headeach to prevent net connection during using the software ... you can also add fire wall protection ...and finally when installing the software do not accept automatic update ..but I am not sure these will protect your pc or not from softwate server ...
Best of Luck ..

Block program access to web using Win Firewall.

This worked for me on Bentley STAAD. Not sure about Tekla.
Make sure that you block all their programs (***.exe files).
And the only way to be safe is to disconnect computer from web.

Hello,

To begin with Disable IPv6 and use static IPv4 as much as possible.

Use a software router/firewall like PFSense or OPNSense, great free products.
Configure it to allow only connections to specific outside IP/ports (eg for email 25, 587, 465).
Both have a http/https proxy server like Squid Transparent Proxy, configure it to require user and password.

Install Firefox and configure it to use the local lan proxy for all connections.

Whatever runs on that network will never have access to the internet except for Firefox or due to changes.

Prevent changes with limited accounts, set Gateway IP to nothing or dummy IP, dns to local dns server (if required).
Block windows proxy configuration with Group Policy.

For home:
Maybe a Raspberry can hold a http/https proxy server
You might achieve some blocking by configuring the router or at least disable IPv6, edit IPv4 and remove the gateway and dns.
Combine that with two windows OS on different hdd's one for fun, another configured for lan/work only.

Perform offline Windows 10 update.

Software creators are interested more in your work, they need somebody to pay the bill for piracy.
The receive all the possible details from model history (computers, network name, text in that model ... )
Your IP is irrelevant, VPN doesn't help.

Regards

Thanks for your help, I already have all tekla software and applications blocked to internet with the norton firewall, it's works fine, but to work in multiuser is other way that I don't have any idea how block or maybe if I can use a local net, I'm going to try LiviuM Pro member settings mentioned above.

My unique advice.
Do not connect that machine to internet. Use another one to connect internet.
Do not trust windows and antivirus softs.
