My Microstation version 08.11.09.829 has opened a couple of times in recent weeks with a warning that the licence must be activated within 6 or 7 days, although it is a fully paid up licence. Can you (Bentley) resolve the issue at your end or is there something I have to do? I haven't been using the system much of late and the message seems to come up when I open it after a break of several days.
Regards Phil Leach.
Note small change, within 6 or 7 days not with 6 0r 7 days.
Hi Phil,
because you did not write whether you are SELECT subscriber (so logs are sent to Bentley server regularly) or you are not SELECT program member and your license is checked out for a fixed period.
If you are SELECT subscriber, I think this problem can be caused by some network issue. You can try to open License Management Tool (in MicroStation from menu Utilities > License Management...) and to press F9 (it's equal to Tools > Send Logs Now...), which will force to send logs to Bentley.
Another issue can be problem with your registry, because the licensing information are stored there.
With regards,
Jan

Hello Jan,
I am not sure whether my problem belongs to this discussion or not, but there is similar issue we too are facing. We have two power draft licenses and we are suppose to use both in different computers. On one system it is working fine I suppose but another one this message is popping up. Do you or anyone in this discussion has any suggestion???
When PowerDraft is first opened, it should display an Activation window. Click the Activate button to open the Product Activation Wizard. Use the following instructions to proceed through the Product Activation Wizard.
