How do I Install, License, and Run AutoPIPE ATS (Automatic Test Set)  12.08 and higher?

Solution:

Notes:

1. Due to the considerable resources involved, not every version of AutoPIPE will have a company ATS developed. It may take between 2 to 6 weeks following the release of an AutoPIPE version for an ATS to become accessible. The QA manager will ensure that the software is available for download: AutoPIPE versions, ATS, and other related materials will be forwarded to the individual's email who are specified on your 6-1-2 form logged with Bentley's QA department. 

2. Each version of the ATS software is meticulously designed to correspond with a particular version of AutoPIPE. Consequently, it is essential that the ATS software version aligns with the AutoPIPE software version specified in the ATS documentation. Mixing versions of these applications is strictly prohibited, as it will invalidate the test results and could potentially lead to operational failures.
