Hello,
We have an old Windows 7 computer with MicroStation v8 2004 (08.05.02.35) installed. This computer is obviously falling to pieces as it's very old but it's a relic from the past that stiil needs to be used everyday by a few employees.
Our solution so far is to virtualize this computer to avoid issues with the hardware breaking down. We did that and I'm having issues with the license because it's linked to the previous computer name (Node). I didn't try to rename the old computer (PT208643) and rename the new Virtual Machine (PT208643-VM) with this name because we can't afford to have the hardware computer not being functionnal.
So what I'd like to do is get a license file that match the name of the Virtual Machine as to be able to do a bunch of tests on the VM while the hardware computer continues to be used in the meantime. Once we confirm the VM is all good with this old software, we'll scrap the old hardware computer and return to having only 1 license on 1 computer.
I couldn't find any other channel to get help on this...
I'm willing to provide the current license file so Bently can generate a new one but it's very important that the current license file will continue to work for a few weeks during the testing phase.
Thank you!
My license file doesn't have any server settings but I still tried to change the Compuer Name to PT208643-VM it didn't work. It still gives me the previously attached error message. The super long License Key string in the license file must translate to some important data like the original computer name. That's why I think just changing the computer name somewhere else in the license file isn't working.
