This makes sense, but I&amp;#39;m hoping that the new CONNECT Edition of MicroStation is backwards compatible?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;MicroStation CONNECT is a 64-bit application.&amp;nbsp; MicroStation V8&lt;em&gt;i&lt;/em&gt; SS10 is a 32-bit application, as is GeoPak SS10.&amp;nbsp; A 32-bit app cannot work with a 64-bit app.&lt;/p&gt;
[quote userid="1251191" url="~/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/235495/is-geopak-ss10-compatible-with-microstation-connect"] Can Geopak SS10&amp;nbsp;communicate with the newest MicroStation CONNECT Edition?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;You had best ask that question on the &lt;a title="Be Communities: OpenRoads Forum" href="/products/road___site_design/f/geopak-inroads-mx-openroads-forum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;appropriate Forum&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
[quote userid="1251191" url="~/products/microstation/f/microstation-forum/235495/is-geopak-ss10-compatible-with-microstation-connect/731601"] it doesn&amp;#39;t matter which version of MicroStation the User has installed (whether it&amp;#39;s SS10 or CONNECT) both should work with GeoPak SS10[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;It does matter.&amp;nbsp; Tim wrote: &lt;cite&gt;MSV8i and MS Connect are the same file format and either version can open the DGN file&lt;/cite&gt;.&amp;nbsp; He did not write that either SS10 or CONNECT will work with GeoPak SS10.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Is Geopak SS10 compatible with MicroStation CONNECT?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/731601?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Sep 2022 17:20:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:f0123de6-cd26-4914-a797-917a8b0c57a1</guid><dc:creator>Alex Weislak</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;So if I understand you correctly, it doesn&amp;#39;t matter which version of MicroStation the User has installed (whether it&amp;#39;s SS10 or CONNECT) both should work with GeoPak SS10. However, GeoPak SS10 will not work in OpenRoads. This is due to the implementation of their 64-bit platform, correct? I just want to make sure I understand you correctly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Is Geopak SS10 compatible with MicroStation CONNECT?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/731599?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Sep 2022 17:15:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:1cb50b5d-09cc-4597-b687-e7dc232d37c3</guid><dc:creator>Tim Hickman</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I need clarity on what you have posted. You are asking if MicroStation is compatable with GeoPak and I believe this is the wrong question to be asking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Technically MSV8i and MS Connect are the same file format and can be opened in either version. So as long as someone using strictly MicroStation works on the file, GeoPak should be able to open it and work on it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now if someone using the OpenRoads product (which is a Connect version of the civil products) works on a file, then the answer is - no - Geopak will not be able to open the file and work on it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Is Geopak SS10 compatible with MicroStation CONNECT?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/731597?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Sep 2022 17:03:26 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:cce3b4a6-61fc-4963-826e-3c66ba9d58f8</guid><dc:creator>Alex Weislak</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Okay.

&lt;p&gt;Geopak is a civil product, You should post your questions related to civil products in the dedicated forum &lt;a href="/products/road___site_design/"&gt;https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;as far as I know Geopak SS10 needs as pre- requisites pack Microstation SS10, it does not work over MicroStation CONNECT but as you know MicroStation SS10 is under support discontinued, not available for download so you need to contact Technical Support via SR &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="/products/w/products__wiki/24845/service-request-manager"&gt;https://communities.bentley.com/products/w/products__wiki/24845/service-request-manager&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The only version that you could request is MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 10 (version 08.11.09.931) with the removal of Luxology rendering engine If civil team confirm this version is certified to work with your Geopak version.&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="/products/microstation/f/microstation-announcements-forum/218874/microstation-v8i-selectseries-10-version-08-11-09-931"&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 10 (version 08.11.09.931) - MicroStation Announcements Forum - MicroStation - Bentley Communities&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and if they agree to provide this unsupported version.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
