    Legacy versions

    All dongle/hardware lock (HWL) based versions of PLAXIS 2D/3D are treated as "V8i SELECTseries 10" according to Bentley's Support Policy. This means that Bentley will discontinue support for hardware lock based versions of PLAXIS after December 31, 2021. This includes PLAXIS 2D 2019 and older, and PLAXIS 3D 2018 and older.

    To see the benefits of the latest versions and how to get the latest version, please see PLAXIS CONNECT Edition: upgrade from Hardware lock to Flexible licensing

    For older versions, the PLAXIS Viewer is part of your PLAXIS installation starting PLAXIS 2D 2016 and PLAXIS 3D AE.02. You will find these legacy PLAXIS Viewers in your installation directory (when you have installed the software). The Viewer works as a standalone application. The legacy Output Viewer version can be copied to other locations or sent to your clients to enable the viewing of your legacy PLAXIS analysis.

    The Legacy PLAXIS Viewer can also be obtained by selecting the appropriate version and downloading it via these links below:
