INSTALLING ON WIN 7
On some Windows Vista and Windows 7 machines, it is observed that trying to select a different
installation path can crash or hang the installer. It is caused by some compatibility issues between

below to resolve this issue.
1. Platforms supported: Windows 7 Professional or higher (application will not function
correctly on other version of windows).
2. Install to the default locations (do not select a different installation drive location, known issue
to crash the installer).
3. Modify Setup Properties: Compatibility mode.

Download AutoPIPE V8i to your local computer hard drive.

Log on with admin privileges.

Run this program as an administrator.

Try the installation process again.

5. Error occurs when installing: Unhandled Exception Error number 0x80040707:


If you're getting this error message as part of an installation or upgrade routine, here's one of
the easiest ways to circumvent the problem:

Go to the directory that holds the file for launching the installation (for example,
Setup.exe).

Right-click on the installation file and select Run As.

Uncheck the box that says Protect My Computer And Data From Unauthorized Activity,
and click OK button.

Alternatively, if you're running this installation from a CD, you may need to simply clean
the CD and try the installation again.

Another possibility for resolving this error is to run Windows Update on the system
before running the installation routine.

LICENSING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


What is Product Activation?
Product activation is the act of authenticating a product for entitled use. V8i Edition applications
are equipped, by default, with six behavioral states Trial, Activated, Offline, Crippled/Disabled,
Expired and Demo/Deactivated.
The Trial period begins with installation and ends after the trial period license has expired or with
Activation, whichever comes first. During the Trial period, most applications run in fullfunctioning mode, with no limitations applied to their activated state.
Initially all applications start in Trial mode. It occurs if logs have never been transmitted or logs
have been transmitted but no license is available and the product has been used for less than 15
days. Once a product has been activated, it can never enter Trial mode again. Once the 15 days
trial has expired, it cannot be restarted.
AutoPIPE Nuclear edition does not have a trial period available.
An application is activated when it is licensed, which is most commonly achieved by successfully
transmitting logs to the server and having a valid license on the server if logs have been
successfully transmitted within the past 24 hours. Once activated, a product can never go back to
Trial.
Offline state indicated that the application wasnt able to successfully transmit logs to the server on
the last attempt. Application can only reach at this state if product has been successfully activated
once. Application will stay in this state until logs are successfully transmitted to the server, at
which point it will return to an Activated state, or the client hasnt been able to connect to the
server in the required amount of time (15 days) at which point it will move to the
Crippled/Disabled state.
Crippled/Disabled state Indicates that the application hasnt connected to the SELECTserver
within the required time (15 days). Application will stay in this state until logs are successfully
transmitted to the server, at which point it will return to an Activated state.
Expired state indicates that the application has never been activated and the trial duration has been
exceeded. Application can only enter this state if the product has never been activated. Application
can only exit this state to an activated state if a valid license is found on the SELECTserver and
logs are successfully transmitted.
An application will reach its Deactivated state only when the Trial period has lapsed and the
product has not been activated. In its Deactivated state, an application generally runs for a short

period of time and then stops e.g. Microstation. However applications like AutoPIPE run in a
DEMO mode (20 node limit).
Do node locked licenses have to check into the Bentley hosted licensing server every 30 days?
No. Non-SELECT, permanent licenses are essentially checked-out licenses tied to a
particular machine name and carry an indefinite term.
What is a Pooled License?
A pooled license is a floating license, centrally managed by SELECTserver. A desktop
application can draw its license from a SELECTserver pool of licenses located at the
SELECT site. A pooled license is not permanently tied to an individual computer. This
license type is available for MicroStation-based and stand-alone (non-MicroStation)
applications. A pooled license is the most common type of license among SELECT
accounts and is a major benefit of Bentley SELECT. Pooled licenses have a term that
coincides with the renewal date of the SELECT Agreement.
How does it work if we have 21 licenses and 30 users?
The pooled behavior works essentially the same as it does now. You can have apps
installed on as many machines as you wish and you have a "usage count" in the license
file (called a "Site" on SELECT server). There's a slight difference in the "handshake"
between the client and the license server, though, in the new SELECT Server (SS). In
your existing SS, the handshake is based on a license request from the client application
and a corresponding license grant by the server. If successful, the client will emit a
"heartbeat" as long as the session is open. This is how SS determines that the license is
still in use and how it calculates and records the session time ("usage"). The problem
with this model is that it requires this real-time connection to the license server and puts it
in a precarious, mission-critical position. If this connection is broken or not available,
users can still run their applications up to 15 days offline period. The client runs the
application and records usage locally. When a daily connection is made with SS, the
client posts its own usage log, essentially saying "this is what I used", including the app,
version, and duration (Usages are tracked by machineID on an hourly basis).
Note

The license can be checked out to the client for up to 90 days or longer using the
License Management Tool.

Why do I need SELECTserver?


SELECTserver is the exclusive enabler of several incremental SELECT licensing
benefits, including the pooling of desktop licenses.
Does my SELECTserver need to be connected to the Internet?

TROUBLESHOOTING
LICENSING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Yes, we recommend that SELECTserver Edition has access to the Internet. This will
make routine transactions, like transmitting usage reports and downloading updated
license files, much more convenient. All transactions are performed under HTTPS
protocol, so no proprietary information will be compromised.
If a SELECTserver cannot maintain an Internet connection, it should be connected within
15 days offline duration.
What happens to my checked-out license if I lose my laptop?
SELECTserver admin pages provide a way to backup checked-out licenses, so they can
be retrieved and copied back to the client machine if necessary. In extreme cases, the
System Administrator can revoke a checked-out license and return it to the pool.
What is the SELECTserver Gateway?
SELECTserver can manage V8i Edition products and pre-XM applications, such as
MicroStation V8 2004 Edition or MicroStation/J. For the latter, SELECTserver provides
a gateway as a proxy for the current SELECTserver. It allows pre-V8i applications to
communicate with the new SELECTserver. In fact, SELECTserver Edition can extend
several benefits of the new system to existing applications, including the thirty-day
evaluation mode, extended periods for checked out licenses, and the reliability of a
system built on standard Web-based server technology.
Will my SELECTserver operate in a proxy server environment?
Yes, SELECTserver will work in a proxy server environment in several ways. First, V8i
applications will be able to communicate to SELECTserver via a proxy server.
SELECTservers will also be able to communicate with Bentley.com Web services via a
proxy server. Finally, SELECTserver Gateway will be able to communicate with
SELECTservers via proxy servers.
Can I obtain a fail-over license to prevent against catastrophe?
There will be no need to replace redundant licenses that have been issued for the purposes
of fail-over or redundancy. SELECTserver Edition is built on standard Microsoft
technologies that are well-suited for clustering or other techniques used to safeguard
application servers. In addition, SELECTserver is no longer a real-time license server, so
if a connection is lost, licensed applications are still able to run in full-functioning model.
How is pooled usage defined?
SELECT subscriber entitlement of pooled usage of Bentley desktop applications is
defined in the Bentley SELECT Agreement (2004). SELECTserver reports usage based
on 1-hour intervals.

LICENSING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What if I dont want to manage my own licenses?


Bentley will offer a hosted license service, based primarily on SELECTserver Edition and
offering essentially the same services that a deployed SELECTserver offers.
I have lost my Network Server connection, can I still run the program if I have not checked
out a license?
SELECTserver is no longer a real-time license server, so if a connection is lost, trust
licensed applications are still able to run in full-functioning mode. If the connection was
lost while you were using the application, you have a 15 days offline grace period to run
the application.
I encounter an error when attempting to install a localized version of AutoPIPE in my
language. What do I do?
As a trouble-shooting step, attempt to install the English version of AutoPIPE. This will
help our technical support team determine whether the problem affects all localizations of
AutoPIPE or a specific localized version only. Be sure to share the results of this test
when requesting support.
