Background
Occasionally Bentley will bring out new products which are consolidations of the functionality of existing applications. The older applications that are being replaced are then known as legacy applications.
When this happens, typically contracts go thru a migration process -
Licensing of Legacy Applications
Sometimes (but not always), legacy applications are added as a "child product" of the new application, essentially giving the new licensing the ability to run the older applications it replaces.
