Since support for SELECTserver is going away July 1, 19, can I still run MicroStation V8i (08.11.09.357) using CONNECTserver? Same question for Descartes and IPLOT and IPLOT Server and drivers.
Found this buried on another thread I'm following in the MicroStation Forum...

Hi,
I found a clue to what has happened. This sounds like politics at its best.
From https://communities.bentley.com/products/hydraulics___hydrology/w/hydraulics_and_hydrology__wiki/39681/licensing-openflows-products---subscription-entitlement-service-connect-licensing ,
Originally we had planned to have a Subscription Entitlement Service (CONNECT Licensing) "adapter" available, which would enable older product versions to utilize the Subscription Entitlement Service. As of December, 2018, we no longer plan to have the adapter available. To use the Subscription Entitlement Service and its related Entitlement Management features, you will need to upgrade to Subscription Entitlement Service-capable product versions. (10.02.00.01+)
Originally you were supposed to be able to request it from tech support. You could still try, but it sounds like they will not be willing to help.

There is also the unanswered question of what happens to node-locked non-select licenses that still have to be validated once a year. Will that be supported. My question on another forum has gone unanswered.
There is a CONNECT Licensing Adapter for MicroStation SS4, which presumably works with SS2, and SS3, that is currently in the hands of some test users. I don't know the status of this now that MicroStation SS10 has been released, nor if it is going to work with any of the verticals.

Mary, I would think that the existing versions (InRoads Ss2) that don't have a Subscription Entitlement Service compatible version would run using the SELECTserver until the discontinued support timeframe but I haven't seen anything official on it.

yep
I actually don't want to upgrade our software either (OK, it's not my job anymore, but I still feel like part of the team). We use a version of verticals (InRoads SS2) that isn't included in this SS10 rollout. SS10 is only an update for SS4 versions; AFAIK there are no updates for anything previous.
We're still trying to find out how non-SS10 licenses will be handled, but I don't think we've heard back yet.
