What the SS 10 deprecation does not address is the scores of projects across the country that were started in legacy SS10 software several years ago and will continue to be completed using legacy software, because it would simply be way too expensive and time consuming to upgrade existing projects to the connected plaform. (For instance upgrading a Geopak created project to an Open Roads project). Right now, I am thinking of a rather long &amp;amp; complex urban project that we are doing for our state DOT. While the Phase I is complete, Phase II will be completed in 5 different segments (plan sets) over the course of the next several years. This is due to the availability of programmed funding. These plan sets will continue to be produced using legacy (Geopak SS10) software. I can imagine that this same scenario will be playing out across the country and globe for many DOT&amp;#39;s &amp;amp; users for years to come. Are we really going to lose support &amp;amp; security updates for software that will be widely used for the next several years??? I completely understand the need to move into the future (as stated, we already have), but this announcement does NOT reflect the fact that we as an industry are just not there yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>ORD files with Powerdraft</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum/209210/ord-files-with-powerdraft</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Feb 2021 22:51:17 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:4820dadb-90ef-46a1-93ee-b206f44a8e94</guid><dc:creator>Jeff H</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Should I be able to open files that are created in Open Roads Designer Connect version with the Connect version of Powerdraft?&amp;nbsp; The program bombs out regardless of what I try.&amp;nbsp; I just want to be able to do some basic drafting revisions without hogging a ORD license.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Connection client update</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/licensing_cloud_and_web_services/f/forum/199364/connection-client-update</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2020 16:38:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:166234be-cc4c-4021-bc2f-caaa4b8cc680</guid><dc:creator>Jeff H</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Connection client says it needs to update, but when I try to download and install, the installation fails and says error code 10.0.19.27 &amp;quot;installation is cancelled.&amp;quot; What is the fix?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>QTL Invoicing</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/licensing_cloud_and_web_services/f/forum/202681/qtl-invoicing</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2020 20:21:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0adf3dd7-5572-4655-827d-3a643695a093</guid><dc:creator>Jeff H</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;We are currently using PowerGeopak V8i SS10 Version V8.11.9.912.&amp;nbsp; We plan to transition to OpenRoads Designer Connect Edition soon.&amp;nbsp; My question is: If I open PowerGeopak and ORD on the same computer, does that count as one license or two?&amp;nbsp; We have older projects that we will be completing in PowerGeopak, but at the same time we would like to download ORD and start learning it.&amp;nbsp; We do not own any licenses, we just utilize QTL&amp;#39;s and pay as we go.&amp;nbsp; Currently when we use PowerGeopak, we get billed for an ORD QTL, so I really need clarification on how this works.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Ask A Question I</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/achievements/460ac7df-7ccc-4c42-a204-9e05eef3be09</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2020 02:45:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:2ee37baf-fca9-4828-a175-9abcb496aca8</guid><dc:creator /><description>Ask a question in a forum.</description></item><item><title>Disproportionate Charges for use of second licence in error</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/licensing_cloud_and_web_services/f/forum/195912/disproportionate-charges-for-use-of-second-licence-in-error</link><pubDate>Tue, 21 Apr 2020 07:15:47 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:43584814-d432-4dc9-9093-5e9bcafd87be</guid><dc:creator>D Coulson</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;My colleague has a single quarterly licence which she pays &amp;pound;300 per quarter to use Microstation as part of her architectural design firm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She has been charged an extra &lt;strong&gt;&amp;pound;1000&lt;/strong&gt; this quarter due to activating a second licence for &lt;strong&gt;ten minutes&lt;/strong&gt; back in mid January.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This activation was due to the purchase of new hardware in the form of a desktop and laptop which she was installing the software on both. It woudl appear in doing so she inadvertently utilised a second licence.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She is not consistently using a second licence or has any other staff which do so. Her annual usage statistics would show that this is a one off and therefore potentially a mistake or error but the accounts conveniently ignore this and bill her anyway.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In speaking with her account manager she was fobbed off, told they&amp;nbsp;couldn&amp;#39;t&amp;nbsp;help her and redirected to the Bentleky website. We will be pursuing this further with Bentley about this wholly appalling level of service.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She pays annually &amp;pound;1200 to use Microstation and is a sole practitioner. A Thousand pounds for Ten Minutes use is complete extortion and I fail to understand how it is justified. If she was consistently using a second licence then she would need to pay for it and usage stats would prove that - but this was clearly&amp;nbsp;not the case.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Does anyone have any experience of this? What can be done?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Why do bentleys software not warned you, when you is about to upen the software on your computer when you forgotten to logout on your sleeping laptob??</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/licensing_cloud_and_web_services/f/forum/190293/why-do-bentleys-software-not-warned-you-when-you-is-about-to-upen-the-software-on-your-computer-when-you-forgotten-to-logout-on-your-sleeping-laptob</link><pubDate>Sat, 21 Dec 2019 22:20:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:24bab14a-58f7-44c5-9c98-9ff0ead3a33e</guid><dc:creator>Hans-Henrik Andersen</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I did make this (Overdo) many times but &amp;quot;on my knees&amp;quot; have to explayned my situation for Bentleys Accounting Department (who is sending me invoices several month after the situations was happend) ,,,that i am only one person in my office and did forgot to logout my laptop before did start up my Microstation on my home office computer. &lt;br /&gt;Is there any solution to this problem ??,,, &lt;br /&gt;I mean Adobe can do the waning and several others software too,,, I don&amp;#39;t even think it&amp;#39;s leagal to charge any for somthing you dont know you is about to do,,,,, Not&amp;nbsp;in relation to the purchasing law here in Denmark...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hope Bentley has the same view of their customers as the customers have of them,,,,&amp;nbsp;As Bentley as a&amp;nbsp;collaborative partner.&lt;br /&gt;I mean the collected paymen Bentleys do to the costumors do not have to depends on how many times costumors forget to shut down a sleeping laptop. this is not fair-play !!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
