MSV8.lic point to select server?

Using MicroStation V8.5 for a legacy project. Is it possible to modify the MSV8.LIC file to point to the select server to get a license, instead of our company license server? If so, what would the SERVER= line be?

  • The LIC cannot communicate directly with SELECTserver, but it can be configured to point to any computer on your network that is running a SELECTserver Gateway. Your company license server may have a SELECTserver Gateway running already, but the SELECTserver Gateway component can also be installed separately on another computer, even a workstation. Multiple Gateways can be installed without problems. If needed, refer to the following software download instructions. In Step 4 of the instructions, choose "SELECT Server" from the Product drop-down menu. In Step 5, choose one of the "Gateway Service" products shown below depending on whether your computer is running a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system.

    Please note that the latest version of SELECTserver Gateway requires Microsoft .NET Framework 4.x, a free component from Microsoft which may be installed already. If not present in the Programs and Features control panel, please install it using the following web installer.
