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.

Hi Keith,
Unknown said:One of the benefits of the SELECT CONNECT Edition is unlimited access to the apps described on the page referenced above.
That's great news (I learned it a few weeks ago) and I agree with Pavel it can be a reason to "be back" for plenty of users. Unfortunately there is "close to zero" marketing coverage currently (especially from local non English native users' perspective), so in my opinion the most of people don't know about recent changes in SELECT advantages.
Unknown said:You do require a CONNECT login but not a passport.
The informations are not consistent and as such are cofusing: On this page, directly linked as a source of more detail informations, is stated: Bentley Map Mobile is free to download but requires a Bentley CONNECT login and Bentley CONNECTIONS Passport for use.
