Bentley V8i Site Activation Key: Troubleshooting Common Issues and Errors



I recently downloaded and installed Microstation V8i (english). I have tried to use it but it is asking me for a site activation key I do not recall receiving a site activation key upon registering for Bentley. How can I obtain a key?




Bentley V8i Site Activation Key




As SELECTserver is entering a sunsetting phase, the SELECTserver activation keys will continue to work without further configuration changes on the end user machines. However, there are some incompatibilities between SELECTserver and the Subscription Entitlement Services (SES) that require organization administrators to do some configuration of the entitlements available to activation keys if those keys are configured with product restrictions in the Custom Activation Groups or Temporary Access Keys interface. As the SELECTserver Administrator interface will be disabled as part of this process, it is suggested that administrators complete these configurations before that occurs to ensure that there is no lapse in availability to end users configured to use those keys.


In SELECTserver, the list of entitlements available to an activation key was determined by the license site that the key was associated to. In SES, all activation keys are associated to an Entitlement country. Each Entitlement country has a list of available entitlements based on the contracts that are active in that country.


When a SELECTserver-licensed product version transmits usage, that activation key's entitlement to the product will be determined based on the availability of the entitlement in that key's Entitlement country and the administrator's access control settings on the product in that country or defined list of Allowed Applications in the Entitlement group that the Activation key is mapped to.


Entitlement groups in SES allow an administrator to define an Allowed Applications list that users associated to that group have access to. Administrators can also map an activation key to one Entitlement group. When an Activation key is used to activate a product, the Entitlement system will look to see the activation key is mapped to an Entitlement group and use that group's list of Allowed Applications to determine the entitlement. If the product is in the Allowed Applications list, the product will be activated. If the product is missing from the list, the product will not be activated.


Note: For administrators that are managing activation key entitlements in Entitlement Management, please note that the list of Allowed Applications will need to be configured manually. There is no capability to pull a previously configured list of Restricted Applications that existed in SELECTserver over in to the Subscription Entitlement Service.


Un-mapping an activation key from an Entitlement group will remove the association between the activation key and the group so that that Allowed Application list will no longer be applied to that key. It does not result in the key being deleted. The un-mapped key will continue to be able to activate applications based on the entitlements and access controls configured for the activation key's Entitlement country.


Not being a real-time licensing model (Workstations do not maintain a real-time connection to the license server) applications using SELECTserver based licensing do not seek permission from a license server before they will run. Under SELECTserver based licensing, usage has always been reported usage if a valid activation key was present (even when applications run in Trial, Offline, or Disabled). See Product Activation Modes of Behavior


Standard Site keys cannot be created or deleted through this interface. Standard site keys cannot be managed other than disabling. If you need the standard key removed from your account, please contact your Bentley Account Manager for contract adjustment discussion or Bentley Support for further information.


The new Custom key will be added to the table and highlighted. This new Custom activation key is associated to the Entitlement group and will be able to activate the list of products defined in the Allowed Applications list.


Caution is suggested with this option as it will delete the key rather than simply disassociating it from the group. User's with this activation key will no longer be able to successfully activate their Bentley products.

The site administrator may then distribute the key at his/her discretion. The user just needs to simply copy and paste the key (an alpha-numeric code) into the space provided in the activation dialog. This box is a note. You can add and remove as many boxes as you want. Boxes can be used to display things like location info, store hours, pictures, ads, etc.JavaScript must be enabled in order to use this site.Please enable JavaScript in your browser and refresh the page. Product activation is achieved by connecting to a SELECTserver, receiving verification that your SELECTserver Name and Activation Key are correct, and successfully posting usage logs. Product activation is not the same as checking out a license. This section describes how to configure ProjectWise Design Integration Server for activation. After initial configuration, ProjectWise Design Integration Server automatically and transparently tries to activate each time it runs, and runs unconstrained for a period of 7 days after its last successful activation. However, if activation is unsuccessful for a period of 30 days, ProjectWise Design Integration Server reports license expired exceptions until the license is successfully activated again.If activation is unsuccessful for a period of 7 days, users will be blocked from logging in, until the license is successfully activated again.Using the Product Activation WizardThe Product Activation Wizard is designed to step users through the product activation process. After a product is installed, you must obtain a license and then activate that license. Obtaining the license alone is not enough to complete the process. This wizard eliminates the confusion and makes it clear that obtaining a license and activating a product are two essential steps. The first screen of the Product Activation Wizard offers these product activation options- *SELECT subscriber activating against a hosted (Bentley) SELECTserver*SELECT subscriber with a deployed (local) SELECTserver*NON-SELECT or Node Locked user*Evaluation Only - No license informationThe wizard steps you through the activation process based on the options selected. SELECT Subscriber Activating Against a Hosted (Bentley) SELECTserver If you are activating against a hosted (Bentley) SELECTserver, the Server Name is pre-populated but you must provide the proper Activation Key - see http-//www.bentley.com/activate for more information regarding this. *Select SELECT subscriber activating against a hosted (Bentley) SELECTserver and click Next. The Activating against a SELECTserver page opens. *Enter the site activation key in the Site Activation Key field. *If you are using HTTPS, turn on HTTPS (SSL). *If you are using a proxy server to connect to the SELECTserver, click the Proxy button and fill in the Proxy Server information, then click OK. *Click Test Connection to verify the connection to the SELECTserver. *Click Next.*On the Single Sign-In page, just click Next.Note- When the CONNECTION Client is not installed, a link is provided to download the CONNECTION Client from the Bentley Software Fulfillment Center. For ProjectWise server-only installations (where no ProjectWise clients are installed on the server), the CONNECTION Client is not required and therefore this page can be skipped. *On the Country of Use page, select the country where you will be using this product and click Next. The Wizard Selections page displays the information provided on the previous pages. *Review the information and click Finish to activate the product. SELECT Subscriber with a Deployed (local) SELECTserverIf you are activating against a local SELECTserver, you must provide the proper Server Name and Activation Key. The Server Name and Activation Key, along with any proxy configuration information, can be obtained from your Site Administrator. *Select SELECT subscribers with a deployed (local) SELECTserver and click Next. The Activating against a SELECTserver page opens. *Enter the name of the server in the Server Name field. *Enter the site activation key in the Site Activation Key field. *If you are using HTTPS, turn on HTTPS (SSL). *If you are using a proxy server to connect to the SELECTserver, click the Proxy button


I want to ask the user to provide the site activation key as she is getting error - not able to connect to the licencing server and I thought I will ask her about the activation key after I check the connection to the server.


To obtain license settings, please open the License Management Tool included with your Bentley product, and select Options from the Tools menu. The server name and site activation key will be listed in the dialog that appears. The following activation troubleshooting steps may be useful as well.


In SELECTserver there is a functionality called Custom Activation Groups. This allows you to create a new Activation Key for your site and limit the products associated to it; and you will not have to worry about staff trying software out or using something you do not own and get the QTL for it later.


We have an issue with License activation, the server on which application is hosted the license management tool says the licenses are activated for current user but when logged in to the application it throws a warning saying "License will expire in 2 days", Kindly help us with this.


I have a user who logs in from a computer in the office and a computer at home. Today, 20 minutes before a conference call that I had to attend, she texts me to tell me that Microstation on her home computer says that it has "No Entitlements" (even though her work computer is fine). I did a remote log-in to her computer and tried a couple things, including "refresh policy" and "activation wizard". The activation wizard ran and reported errors with Microstation and Bentley View. 2ff7e9595c
