Hi all,
after I installed Bentley Map Mobile for Windows 05.05.01.69, I was asked to active the product. Without the activation I am not able to use other than demo project.
Bentley Map Mobile is presented as a free product, but the activation means a license is required and people without SELECTserver activation key cannot use it. Is it bug or the free product changed to be licensed and paid?
With regards,
Jan
Hi Pavel,
I think it's not answered, because Bentley web tells clearly Bentley Map Mobile is free application:
As was discussed many times in different forums, to charge mobile viewing application today is nothing else than recommendation to use competitors' solution. But it's Bentley's decision. For me the bigger problem is that it's nearly impossible to find any clear information without marketing craps, incorrect, obsolete or fuzzy information how Bentley products are licensed, when registraction or login is required and what it means etc. Bentley spends a lot of time and lot of money to make their users' life harder and more complicated.

To further clarify Jeff’s response, Bentley’s mobile applications are typically free to download and install but do require a Bentley CONNECTIONS Passport and a Bentley CONNECT login for use. I agree that the web page is misleading and it will be updated.
To create a Bentley CONNECT Login go here:
Passports are available as a quarterly or annual subscription. To obtain a Bentley CONNECTIONS Passport, you need a valid SELECT agreement and then purchase the number of passports required. You can speak to your Bentley account manager to obtain a SELECT agreement and passports.
