As previously communicated, Bentley Systems is retiring the following Hevacomp products: Hevacomp Dynamic Simulator, Hevacomp Electrical Contractor, Hevacomp Electrical and Mechanical Designer, Hevacomp Mechanical Contractor, Hevacomp Mechanical Designer, Hevacomp Mechanical System Builder, Hevacomp Electrical System Builder, and Hevacomp Legacy.
This decision follows a thorough evaluation and reflects our continued commitment to delivering forward-looking, innovative solutions that align with the evolving needs of our users. All intended Hevacomp capabilities have now been fully integrated into OpenBuildings Designer, offering a more streamlined and powerful solution for Building Design and Analysis.
Users can continue utilizing familiar Hevacomp workflows within OpenBuildings Designer, while benefiting from its enhanced design tools and functionality.
The Hevacomp products mentioned above have reached the discontinued or end-of-support phase and are no longer available for download through Software Downloads.
For more details, please refer to the Bentley Lifecycle Policy on our website.
We will continue to provide Hevacomp support until January 1, 2026. Bentley will offer limited technical support, including assistance in evaluating queries and, where possible, provide workarounds.
Please note that no further development, updates, or patches will be issued.
Existing users may continue to use Hevacomp products with limited technical support.
Technical support will no longer be available, and Hevacomp product entitlements will no longer be included with an OpenBuildings license.
If I have an active SELECT subscription:
You will no longer be charged SELECT pricing after January 1, 2026. You may retain your discontinued licenses; however, they will become node-locked licenses.
Is there any alternative option to node-locked licenses under SELECT:
No, there are no alternative options. All discontinued licenses will become node-locked.
If I do not have an active SELECT subscription:
Your licenses will already be node-locked and will not change.
If I am using Hevacomp under an E365 subscription:
E365 users may continue using Hevacomp if needed; usage will be considered part of OpenBuildings Designer. If you require the installer, please contact the support team.
The licensing and subscription changes will take effect on January 1, 2026.
All existing Hevacomp users with an active annual SELECT subscription, Virtuoso subscription, or E365 plan.
No, Hevacomp will continue to function once the license is converted to a node-locked type.
No, new Hevacomp licenses will not be available for purchase after January 1, 2026.
We recommend transitioning to OpenBuildings Designer. With Hevacomp’s intended capabilities now seamlessly integrated into OpenBuildings Designer, upgrading ensures you have access to a more efficient and powerful building design and analysis solution.
