How to create a Bentley account and submit a Service Request

General

When using any Bentley software, our support teams are ready to assist you with problems encountered.

To reach the support teams a Service Request (SR) needs to be submitted and processed. Then, one of our support team members can help you in detail.

Creating an account and submitting a service request

Below the required steps are explained, allowing for submitting a service request:

1. You will need to create a Bentley account:
   https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/sign-in_assistance_and_web_services/w/wiki/42943/creating-a-bentley-account
2. Once successfully created you should be able to access your page on the CONNECT Center:
   https://connect.bentley.com/
3. An Account Administrator in your organization should add you to one of the managed groups, giving access to the Bentley applications and entitlements (e.g. software downloads, software usage).
   To find your Account Administrator you can select "How are you CONNECTED" on the Welcome Banner in the CONNECT Center. For instructions see:
