Problem:

Can I install any version of AutoPIPE on any Operating System?

What version of AutoPIPE is compatible / authorized to run on versions of windows platforms?

Solution:

Each version of AutoPIPE product software is thoroughly tested on various Operating Systems, OS (Win 7, Win 10, Win 11 etc..). In addition, in order for the application to be certified under our QA program it must undergo additional testing and documentation. Therefore, recommend to review readme file to see what OS a particular version of the program has been tested on.

This does not mean that the software cannot be run on another operating systems / platforms not specified in the readme file, but that it has not been tested by our development team to be installed on another OS / platform. One can always try to install and use the application on any OS / platform. However, Bentley cannot be held liable for results or provide technical support for installation of AutoPIPE on untested systems.

If you do encounter an issue with the program that is install on an untested OS, please log a Case providing system details, screen shots, program crashes information and a brief account of the problems encountered. We will make an effort to help resolve the issue, but are unable to guarantee a solution.

Notes:

1. Suggest installing AutoPIPE on a Virtual Machine with bare minimum Window utilities only (no security apps running), users who logs in has complete Admin rights, and then try and reproduce the issue. Can the issue be reproduced in this limited environment? If yes, please confirm, If no, than issue is related to user credentials, security settings, or other local environment issues.

2. Version of AutoPIPE:

- - AutoPIPE 23.00.01 and higher: 64-bit application, runs on only Windows 64-bit Operating Systems
  - AutoPIPE 8.5 to 23.00: 32-bit application and should run on 32 or 64-bit OS with few if any adjustments.
  - AutoPIPE v6.3 and lower are 16-bit applications. Search internet for instructions to run 16-bit application on 32 or 64-bit Windows (example here).

3. Refer to AutoPIPE's readme file for Minimum system requirements, Prerequisites, and What's New.

4. Installing on Windows Server 2019. both SELECTserver-based and SES-based versions of AutoPIPE can activate given the services / protocol going to be disabled:

a. NTLM V1 will be disabled. NTLM V2 and other AD authentication protocols will be available.

b. LDAP Simple Bind will be disabled. “LDAP_Bind_S” and “LDAPS” will be available in the new servers. LDAPS is prefer configuration as per the QP Security policies and standards.

c. TLS 1.0 will be disabled. TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2 will be available in the new servers.

d. Following ciphers will be disabled RC2, RC4, MD5, 3DES, DES, IDEA, NULL. All other ciphers and cipher suites will be available.

Provided TLS 1.2 is enabled, communication with our license servers will be unaffected. If you are not using Federated Identity with Bentley, therefore no Active Directory integration will be utilized for CONNECTION Client purposes.

5. AutoPIPE 2025 is known to be installed, licensed, and runs on MAC with virtualized copy of Windows 11 on MacOS (with Apple silicon, i.e., an ARM processor). However this cannot be supported until the development team performs testing with this kind of set up. Recommend, to post an IDEA asking for this option to be added into AutoPIPE's readme file.
