Hei
I am Powerdraft-user
In a letter form Bentley it says that they will be quitting Powerdraft and the Powerdraft-users can switch to Micostation with out any cost. Can someone tell me when I can do this and how?
Best regards Sigridur
Whomever is in charge of your licensing will probably need to contact their Bentley Account manager to negotiate the license swap (and costs going forward). After that, it should be a matter of downloading and installing the software (simple), and configuring it to use your resources properly (not so simple).

Hi Siqriour
This is true but also not true
From a Bentley point of view - MicroStation (MS) Select is twice the cost of PowerDraft (PD)
TRUE - you can upgrade for free. you get 1 x PD = 1 x MS for the software only
However..... PD will be increased by 25% so where it was £686 it will now n £732... so it is not free..
PLUS.... For each MS your Select costs will be £1197 rather than £586 (£732)
If you have 5 x PD today
5 x £586 = £2930 per year
next renewal it will be
5 x £732 = £3662.5 per year
BUT
5 x MS = £5985 per year
So if you do the maths it is NOT free
