In the next panel, the Server Name, which is exactly the one that appears in red in the first image of the article. In this case, we choose « I have an activation key✺nd the button is pressed Next.
The next panel asks us what type of license we have.
In this case for the purposes of the post I am demonstrating how to do it through the option NON-SELECT or Node Locked user. In this panel, we choose the option according to the type of license in case of having a license server or a SELECT service. This raises a panel from where you choose: In case it does not appear, it is made from: Generally, when you enter a program that has not been activated, a panel appears at the beginning with the option to register it. To activate a license you need to have Internet access, so it should be the first step to try to avoid wasting your time. This does not require science, only that the prerequisites are installed first and then the Microstation V8i program. Also from here you download the Prerequisites of Microstation V8i which is an installer that contains the necessary applications and components for the respective installation. Anyone could do it if they had this key, because in reality it is equivalent to requesting an educational license or requesting a SelectCD, where the product is received with all the functionalities, but which only allows working sessions of 15 minutes. This is done through the url marked in light blue. This is a url that Bentley sends, from which the program can be downloaded at any time, marked in blue in the image. It is the one marked in green in the image, although it is never requested at the time of activation. This is unique for each license purchased. When you buy a license of Microstation V8i, there is some information that is received and that must be kept very carefully because they will be required at the time of activation: Installer Size: 1310 MB Download Links > Bentley MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 4) v08.11.09.This article shows how the license of Microstation V8i is activated, in this case I am showing it for 8.11 version, but in the same way it works for any program from the 8.9 (XM) versions. – Seamlessly bring together project information and teams by usingand sharing drawings and models from any discipline or format,including point clouds, DWG, DGN, DXF, SHP, 3DM, and more. – Take your models further by producing intelligent 3D PDFs and 3Dprinted prototypes. – Communicate your design intent with lifelike renderings andanimations. – Clearly and effortlessly document your designs with polished 2Ddrawings, schedules, and reports. – Enjoy the freedom to model nearly any 2D or 3D formimaginable.
