Hello,
We recently updated some of our Bridge department with Microstation ss3 from ss2 as well as windows 7. Now we have two people whose MS won't activate even though it is showing activated and is pointing to our license on our server. What it does instead is when you open it a screen pops up saying that the 30 days hae expired and that it needs to activate. Even if you try and activate it, it just keeps going in a circle of activation. Then it closes out. I've tried repairing it, reinstalling it and even uninstalling ss3 and installing ss2 but that won't activate either. Has anyone heard of this?
Please help!
Thanks!
Thanks again to Michael and Kevin for all of your help solving this issue!! Very much appreciated it!! : )
Just to update everyone on how this resolved, we found that InRoads was installed on the machine, and Bentley Map is installed with InRoads. Bentley Map was loading because the "msgeo" workspace was being selected as the user workspace when starting MicroStation. This was resolved by switching back to an Untitled workspace.

The crazy thing about that is we don't have Bentley Map. Like you mentioned, its not a part of our account. Its not even actually installed on these computers. Its just showing up in the license management tool. But its not installed on the PC. Its not even listed in the control panel under programs & features.
Just uninstall Bentley Map. Then it should stop asking for it.

Hi Mike,
No, we don't actually need Bentley Map. I figured it was something we already had since it was showing up in the License Management Tool. Is this somehow blocking V8i from activating properly? Do you know if there is away to get that off of the License Management tool? Thanks!
