How to Activate AutoPIPE® 

AutoPIPE Standard, AutoPIPE Advanced, AutoPIPE Nuclear, and add-ons are are all supported on the SELECT Server Licensing. If you are upgrading from an earlier version of the product, it is highly recommended that you do not install this product over the previous version. Older versions of AutoPIPE 6.3, 8.50, 8.51 and 8.60 will run under SELECT Server XM Licensing using the SELECT Server XM Gateway Service and the older SELECT licenses. For more information on the SELECT Server XM Gateway Service see the AutoPIPE Quick Start Guide.

The AutoPIPE products can be authorized as Standalone Licenses (formerly called Fixed Licenses), fixed to one user workstation or as Concurrent Licenses (formerly known as Floating Licenses) running from a local or Bentley hosted SELECT Server.

Users who have existing Floating Licenses and wish to convert the licenses to run on SELECT Server can contact Bentley Sales Support Center from the website at http://www.bentley.com/en-US/Services/Bentley+Sales+Support.htm. The following information is required when requesting SELECT Server licensing: Server Name, email address of the recipient of the SELECT Server license and the Serial Numbers to be added to the server.

Product activation is achieved by connecting to a SELECT Server, receiving a verification that your SELECT Server Name and Activation Key are correct, and successfully posting Usage logs. Product activation is not the same as checking out a license. This document describes how to configure AutoPIPE for activation. After initial configuration, AutoPIPE automatically and transparently tries to activate each time it runs, and runs unconstrained for a period of 30 days after its last successful activation. However, if activation is unsuccessful for a period of 30 days, AutoPIPE will not start until it is activated again.

Activating a product using the Product Activation Wizard

The 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 Product Activation Wizard opens automatically (unless the "Activate product using Bentley License Tool" check box is turned off) at the end of the product installation process. See the AutoPIPE Quick Start Guide for more information on installing AutoPIPE.

The first screen of the Product Activation Wizard offers four product activation options:

The wizard steps you through the activation process based on the options selected.

If you are not a Bentley SELECT subscriber and you are activating AutoPIPE, you are presented with three options:

 

I have a license file ready to import

  1. Enter the path to your license file (or Browse to the location of your license file) in the License File field.
  2. Click Next. The Wizard Selections dialog box displays the information provided on the previous dialog boxes.
  3. Review the information and click Finish to activate the product.

 

I have an activation key

  1. Enter the site activation key in the Site Activation Key field.
  2. If you are using HTTPS, enable the HTTPS (SSL) check box.
  3. If you are using a Proxy server to connect to the hosted SELECT Server, click the Proxy button and fill in the Proxy Server information then click OK.
  4. Click Test Connection to verify the connection to the SELECT Server.
  5. Click Next. The Check out license now? page displays.
  6. Enter your Email address in the Email Address field.
  7. Select the product to be activated (if not pre-populated) it the Product Name field.
  8. Enter the product version number (if not pre-populated) in the Product Version field.
  9. Click Next. The Wizard Selections dialog box displays the information provided on the previous dialog boxes.
  10. Review the information and click Finish to activate the product.
