Interactive Guide to Licensing AutoPIPE v.11.04 or lower - Step 8: License AutoPIPE based on LMT (


Step #1:

Start AutoPIPE using one of the steps mentioned earlier

Step #2:

Open "Welcome to AutoPIPE Licensing" dialog:

a. Using AutoPIPE V8i 11.00.xx.xx and higher

Select File> License Configuration

a. Using AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.01.xx to 10.xx.xx.xx

Select File> License Configuration

or

b. Using AutoPIPE XM v.08.09.xx.xx to V8i v.09.06.00.19

Select Tools> Setting> Edition

Step #3:

Refer back to LMT, License Checkout tab in the previous step, what AutoPIPE editions are listed:

Question: Based on the images above, what AutoPIPE Edition can be License at this time?

Guess #1 = AutoPIPE Nuclear

Answer:

No, AutoPIPE Nuclear is not listed in LMT on the License Checkout tab. Only products listed in LMT can be licensed. Therefore Nuclear edition cannot be licensed at this time.

Guess #2 = AutoPIPE Advance (aka PLUS)

Answer:

Depends on the version of AutoPIPE being used -

AutoPIPE 2004 08.05.xx.xx to AutoPIPE V8i 09.05.01.05

These versions of AutoPIPE support the Bentley IEG licensing structure which requires a product to be listed on LMT's License Checkout tab, that the corresponding number of Available licenses be 1 or higher, and that Bentley IEG software be installed. If the application is not listed OR number of Available license = 0, OR IEG application is not installed, then No, the application will not be granted a license.

Issue related to Availability = 0 and missing Products, contact your Bentley On-site Admin, only these people have access to the SELECTserver and will be able to look up related detailed information. If you are a Bentley On-Site admin see procedure here

Confirm Bentley IEG software has been installed before proceeding.

AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.00.15 and higher

These versions of AutoPIPE support Bentley Trust Licensing structure which requires a product to be listing on LMT's License Checout tab and regardless of the number of Available licenses show, the application will granted a license. Yes, Advanced edition can be selected.

Guess #3 = AutoPIPE Standard

Answer:

Yes, AutoPIPE (aka Standard) is listed on LMT's License Checkout tab, and availability is >0 (ex. availability = 500).

Based on information displayed in LMT and assuming that AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.02.05 has been intalled, only AutoPIPE Standard and Advanced editions can be licensed at this time. Do not select AutoPIPE Nuclear as the program will revert to demo mode.

Again, Remember if using a version based on Bentley IEG licensing structure (v.8.5.x.x to 9.5.1.5), then only select Standard edition, selecting either Advanced or Nuclear edition, the program will revert to Demo mode.

Step #4:

Select the Edition based on the answers to Step #3 above

NOTE:

If more than one edition meets the criteria above, the user should decide which edition to license at this time based on the features needed in the model. Knowing that each time the application is re-opened the previous edition will be selected for use by default unless manually changed on this dialog. 

Press OK button to close this dialog.

After pressing OK, the dialog will close, a signal is being sent to LMT asking to see if the selected edition license is listed and available. If it is, the program will be licensed, otherwise it will revert to DEMO mode. 

Step #5: What is displayed after selecting an Edition and pressing OK button:

Note: (Undefined) = File name has not been set, open a model or create a new model, this information will be updated accordingly.
