    Activating Against a Locally Deployed SELECTserver [TN]

    What is the purpose of this information?

    To activate Bentley applications against a Deployed SELECTserver

    Activation of the software is achieved by entering a server name and site activation key into the product. The Server Name and Site activation key are entered into the "Product Activation Wizard" or into the “License ManagementTool”.

    Product Activation Wizard Instructions

    You may be put straight into the “Product Activation Wizard,” If the Product Activation Wizard does not prompt upon launching the application, you can activate using the License Management Tool.

    Once in the Product Activation Wizard, you are given the following options:

    • “SELECT subscriber activating against a hosted (Bentley) SELECT Server.”
    • "SELECT subscriber with a deployed (local) SELECT server.”
    • “NON-SELECT or Node locked user”
    • “Evaluation Only – No license information”
    1. You will want to verify that SELECT subscriber with a deployed (local) SELECTserver is selected.
     
    2. Once selected, click Next> in the bottom right corner.
     
    When selecting the "SELECT subscriber with a deployed (local) SELECTserver," the server name and Site Activation Key will be blank.
     
    3. Fill in the Server Name in the Server Name box.  The Server Name will be the name of the machine name running the SELECTserver service. 
     
    4. Fill in the Site Activation Key in the Site Activation Key box.
    *Please note: Due to the length of the site activation key, it is recommended that each user copy and paste the information directly into the license management tool.  Also, be sure there are no extra spaces before or after the server name and site activation key as this can prevent a proper activation. Be sure you are not entering the Server Activation Key. If you are a site administrator, you can find your Site Activation Key on the Administration Page under License Management>View License File.  If you are using a SSL connection (port 443) to connect with your server, you should enable the option Use HTTPS (SSL)
     
    5. Once completed, select Next>
     
    Depending on what version of software in being installed, the country where the product will be in use may have to be selected.
     
    6. Once a country of use is selected, Next>
     
    The following screen is titled "License Checkout".
    *Please note: Using a checked out license is only intended if you will be without an internet connection for an extended period of time. If you will be connected to the internet at most times, a checked out license is not needed, and you can select Next> to Finish activation.

     

    *Please note: If the Product Activation Wizard does not prompt upon launching the application, you can activate using the License Management Tool.

     

    For further instructions on activating specific products, such as the Bentley Haestad (Municipal) Products, please see the Product Specific Licensing section of our License TechNotes.
