, ensure you have defined a stress-strain curve that accounts for concrete tension stiffening.
In ETABS 9.7.4, you account for cracking by applying multipliers to the stiffness of concrete members (Beams, Columns, and Walls) as per design codes like ACI 318. Select the Members : Highlight the beams or columns you want to modify. Navigate to Modifiers Frame/Line Frame Property Modifiers Input Values

If you are seeking a software "crack" (bypass for licensing), please be aware that using unauthorized software for structural engineering projects carries significant legal risks and potential for calculation errors that could compromise building safety. It is always recommended to use a genuine license for professional work.
ETABS 9.7.4 is an older version of the structural analysis software, typically used for the design of buildings. In engineering terms, "including cracks" usually refers to modeling cracked section properties right-click the shortcut
If "Include Crack" refers to a software error or a specific installation step: Standalone Licensing : Ensure the
