Non-SELECT licensing is version and machine specific. You may not freely switch between different versions of the same application. If you are trying to activate a Non-SELECT license, for the first time, and get an error message saying that "The version number does not match" then do the following.
1. Make sure all versions of the Bentley Application has been uninstalled. 2. In the PDF document you received containing your Download Links for the Bentley Software and the Licenses > Download the Bentley Application from the provided link. 3. Install the Bentley Application. 4. Activate the Bentley Application from Licensetool.exe (Make sure that you run Licensetool as Administrator).
If you require the ability to run multiple versions of the same software, you may wish to investigate Bentley SELECT. The licensing options available under SELECT allow you to run multiple versions of the same application via the SELECTserver Gateway.
More information about SELECT can be found here:

Obtaining your Bentley Software License
You may be put straight into the “Product Activation Wizard,” If the Product Activation Wizard does not prompt upon launching the application, you can actiavte using the License Mangement Tool.
When selecting the "NON-SELECT or Node locked user," the server name will be filled in by default.
Fill in the Site Activation Key in the Site Activation Key box. Due to the length of the site activation key, it is recommended that each user copy and paste the information directly into the license management tool. Also, be sure there are no extra spaces before or after the server name and site activation key as this can prevent a proper activation.
Depending on what version of software in being installed, the country where the product will be in use may have to be selected.
