My understanding is that Bentley are stopping support for MicroStation SS4 at the end of the year. Is that still correct?
Also I have seen somewhere that if we use CE and SS4 at the same time (after support fro SS$ has stopped) this will count as two licence usages. Again, is this correct?
As others have said, starting January 1 any SS4 (and earlier) license will have to be node-locked.
From what I have been told at your next Bentley contract renewal after January 1, you will be charged extra for any node-locked licenses you are still using.

WHAT...?
Haven't we already paid for the software (and the license to run it)? Why are we getting charged again for software already purchased?

Perhaps I'm being cynical but this statement from the wiki noted above is just allows Bentley to keep on claiming over usages and sending out invoices:
Just as with SELECTserver activation keys, Bentley remains committed to allowing on-demand access to applications regardless of the available entitlements when using SES.
Also whats a Term license, as noted in the same wiki?
Very frustrating for long time Bentley clients
I can have Autodesk Inventor up and running ( not being used) at the office and running on my home edition and being used and not get any bills. I can also have two versions of the Inventor on my pc both opened and not get billed.
