&lt;p&gt;Starting from January 1st, 2022 there will be no technical support for SELECTserver-based versions - except those license-related, the applications will not stop working. You may want to review the following article:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a title="Support for V8i SELECTseries 10 applications after December 31st, 2021" href="/communities/other_communities/licensing_cloud_and_web_services/w/wiki/55888/support-for-v8i-selectseries-10-applications-after-december-31st-2021" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Support for V8i SELECTseries 10 applications after December 31st, 2021&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: SELECTserver Sunset Date</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/683341?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Nov 2021 17:43:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e295ea37-ce45-4e01-85d7-766f55196322</guid><dc:creator>RobertArnold</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;To add to Rod&amp;#39;s comments, it also means that the V8i SS10 licensing will not get updated, so if Bentley changes how they license their products, you will have to go to node-lock licensing (one per computer).&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;t expect that to happen for a while.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, as long as SS10 can communicate with the Connection Client, you can continue to upgrade the Connection Client and use that licensing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You should be able to continue to use V8i SS10 for a while.&amp;nbsp; Make sure that you have the installation files on your local computer, so if you ever need to install/reinstall the product, you can.&amp;nbsp; At some point, Bentley will remove the download link from their website.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It just means there will be no further updates, nor will Bentley support take any support tickets against the applications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don&amp;#39;t look for Bentley to put out a V8i SS10 version certified for Windows 11.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: SELECTserver Sunset Date</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/683336?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 19 Nov 2021 17:26:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:17f50dd8-58fb-4299-8ae2-390443b2205c</guid><dc:creator>Eiren Smith</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;What does this &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; mean exactly:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Support for V8i&amp;nbsp;SS10 will be discontinued on December 31, 2021.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Will V8i SS10 products worldwide cease to work on 31 December 2021 (or the day after)? Or do V8i SS10 products just need to be activating themselves using some specific Bentley licensing server by that data and then nothing will change (all will be well)? I can&amp;#39;t tell.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: SELECTserver Sunset Date</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/562739?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jan 2020 23:21:31 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:08adb0f5-9908-4f6b-9985-4a74ab3b5845</guid><dc:creator>RobertArnold</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Rod,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At one point Bentley created and released a &amp;quot;license adapter&amp;quot; that would allow individual versions of SelectServer based software (such as Microstation V8i (SS3)) to use the new Connect Licensing.&amp;nbsp; Shortly after they released it and had the download available on the website, they pulled it off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So your choices would be to update to Connect, use node-locked licenses, convince Bentley to re-release the licensing adapter software, live with the 15-minute trial limit, or ???&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;--Robert&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: SELECTserver Sunset Date</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/560642?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Dec 2019 23:07:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:8836f2b8-faad-4457-b75d-f606036ed2a7</guid><dc:creator>Tuan Le</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I just want to confirm that I understand it correctly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After&amp;nbsp;31 December 2020, I won&amp;#39;t be able to activate my SS software against selectserver.bentley.com. After that date, I would need to activate against&amp;nbsp;ProductActivation.bentley.com.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As per the wiki below:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/products/licensing/w/licensing__wiki/5278/activating-as-a-non-select-or-node-locked-user-tn"&gt;https://communities.bentley.com/products/licensing/w/licensing__wiki/5278/activating-as-a-non-select-or-node-locked-user-tn&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The node lock licence is version specific. How can my ensure my node lock licence would work for the version that is required at the time?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, what is the procedure for check in a checked out licence on a lost computer after 31 Dec 2020?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is incorrect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the user wants to remain on the older version they can no longer use Select Server for the licensing. They will need to revert to node locked licenses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Of course the preference is to move forward.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: SELECTserver Sunset Date</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/560212?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 18 Dec 2019 01:39:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e84a9002-7e55-4bd1-bd04-f34e1f756ffc</guid><dc:creator>Tuan Le</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Would be great if someone from Bentley can officially confirm this.
