Dear Valued Bentley Users:
Last year, we began notifying you that Luxology—the third-party rendering engine in many of our products—would be replaced by a new state-of-the-art rendering engine as our contract with Luxology’s provider was coming to an end. As of July 31, 2022, we will no longer be authorized to distribute versions of software that include Luxology to any of our users per the terms of our agreement with the third-party vendor. There are no exceptions to this policy. For further details on this change and a complete list of products impacted, please view table below. If you don’t see your product listed and are unsure of whether it is included in this change, please contact Bentley Global Technical Support for further assistance.
What is replacing Luxulogy?
Vue is MicroStation's new state of the art rendering engine that is replacing Luxology. For more information on VUE, please click here: (+) MicroStation FAQ Replacing Luxology with VUE - MicroStation Files - MicroStation - Bentley Communities
What this means for you?
Which products and versions will be restricted due to the use of Luxology technology after July 31, 2022?
NOTE: *Restriction applies to the version stated and ALL prior versions
