Hello! I'm new to this so i'm sorry if I'm in the wrong forum.
I work for a local government and at the moment we are still using MicroStation V8i but in the process of upgrading to the Connect-edition. Since we are gonna be uprgading soon, i reckon it's a good time to do some account balancing as well. We have multiple SELECT subscriptions. Therefor I would like to give some other bentley apps a try as well before we switch, but it's a bit unclear to me if the software that I can download from the "software download" page are automatically trial-versions or do I start paying the instant that I start using them? I heard that all software comes with a trial of 7 days. To be honest....the whole SELECT subscription and the possibilities are still a bit vague to me.
Can someone please inform me?
Kind regards,
Sander Robbemond.
Most products provide a 7-day trial period if they cannot obtain a license. The first 30 days of product usage ever recorded for an organization are not counted for billing purposes to avoid billing issues during evaluations, but this can be risky for SELECTserver-based products if any user in the organization has ever evaluated it before. I strongly recommend requesting a product demonstration and evaluation license from your sales representative to get a better feel for a product.
