[quote userid="436763" url="~/products/administration/f/product-administration-forum/189624/microsation-j-on-windows10"]we are using a legacy software that is running in Microstation J[/quote]

Can you be more specific? Perhaps there is an alternative app that works with a supported version of MicroStation?

As Jan pointed out MS/J is not a supported software, you can refer to our Support Policy as to which versions currently have support.

It would be strongly recommended you start looking into upgrading to the latest version, for assistance in planning see:

Hi Matthew,

[quote userid="436763" url="~/products/administration/f/product-administration-forum/189624/microsation-j-on-windows10"]We are concerned if Microstation J will still be supported in the future.[/quote]

MicroStation/J has not been supported by Bentley for many (many many many) years. In fact, the only supported version from the next year will be CONNECT Edition, plus the latest V8i (SELECTseries 10) version will be in "expiring support" mode. Any older version (including older V8i releases) will be not supported.

[quote userid="436763" url="~/products/administration/f/product-administration-forum/189624/microsation-j-on-windows10"]I would like to confirm until when the Microstation J be useable[/quote]

"Usable" and "supported" are quite different things. MicroStation/J can be usable for next few years without any issues, but nobody will confirm it, because it's not supported, so the usability / functionality is not ensured.

[quote userid="436763" url="~/products/administration/f/product-administration-forum/189624/microsation-j-on-windows10"]given the fact that several new versions has come already.[/quote]

It's not about "new versions" only, it's better to say several "generations" ... new format (DGN V8), new GUI concepts (V8i, V8 XM Edition + V8i, CONNECT Edition) and new APIs (64bit CONNECT Edition API). Maybe it's not wrong to say /J and CE are different products, accidentally using the same name and some concepts? ;-)

With regards,

Jan
