See WIKI here for instructions to install SelectSERVER Gateway

 install application based on computer OS:

64 bit - ssgw_64_09010031en.msi

32 bit - ssgw_X86_09010031en.msi

Create a Select SERVER Gateway pointer file

For those using PreXM applications licensing on a Select SERVER XM require a pointer file. . The pointer file points the application to the location of the Select SERVER GATEWAY. These files go on the user’s computer.

AutoPIPE Pointer Files Names:

autopipe.lic

autopipepl.lic

autopipekhk2.lic

Log onto the computer where the Select Server GATEWAY was installed. Navigate to the following location: (Assuming XP OS) Start> Setting> Control Panel> System> Computer Name Tab> Copy the full computer name, EXACTLY, to the first dot (computer domain name extensions are not required).

 The Pointer file contains the following one line of information:

SERVER=“SS computer name

Open a each pointer file downloaded above in a text editor, such as notepad; modify the red words with the computer name from the Select Server GATEWAY computer. The name is case sensitive and the “ “ are required.

After completing the modification, select File> Save As> save this file to the C:\Program Files\Bentley\program\licensing using each of the file names listed above: Make sure the file is saved as a .lic file and not a .txt file

Note: the number one failure of licensing is correct spelling and syntax of the pointer files. All the files contain the same information just different file names. Be vigilant when creating these files.

Start AutoPIPE

Note, restart the system before starting AutoPIPE.

Step 1: Select the AutoPIPE program icon from:

Start> Program> AutoPIPE> AutoPIPE for Windows

Step 2: The Welcome to AutoPIPE screen will appear

Step 3: Depending on your Select SERVER contract; Press AutoPIPE Standard or AutoPIPE Plus button.

Step 4: If licensing was correctly installed, the application is now checking for an available license. If a valid license has been located, the “Welcome to AutoPIPE” screen disappears and the application is ready for use.

Verify by inspecting the top of the application bar. The specified design code should appear in the applications bar at the top of the application window.

Step 5: If the licensing is not correctly done

Troubleshooting

Applications that should be installed: (if not please update)

User's computer:

  • AutoPIPE v.6.3 or 2004 (v.08.05 to v.08.06)
  • Plant Security v.08.06.00.01
  • LIC pointer file, point to the computer where the Select Server Gateway is installed, case sensitive.

Company Server:

Confirm the following are updated and status set to started (control panel/admin tools/services/)

  • Select Server XM, 08.11.01.64, services started
  • Select Server Gateway, 08.11.01.64, services started

If the program reverts to DEMO mode, confirm licensing settings (especially pointer file names and location)

Confirm the location of the pointer files

Select Start> Run> regedit.

After the program opens navigate to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE> SOFTWARE> Bentley> Security

On the right pane/window find PathName = ?????

Document this PathName. Move all the LIC (license) files into this directory.

 Confirm the Gateway service

Contact the Select Server Admin, request that they check the Select Server Gateway services are started.

On the Gateway computer, Select Control Panel> Administration Tools> Services> Bentley Select Server Gateway> Status > Started.

If you are having troubles with the Select Server Gateway on the server, install the Select Server Gateway on the client’s computer and reconfigure the Gateway Pointer files with the correct computer name. Again verify that the Gateway Service are started.

On the machine that SELECT Server XM is installed on

 (***Please note:  If this is Select Server 08.11.00.00 or newer please copy the YACLAP.dll from C:\Program Files\Bentley\SELECTserver\Bin to C:\Program Files\Bentley\SELECTserver then run the following from a command line.***)

  • Type cmd in the Open text box and click OK
  • Type CD C:\Program Files\Bentley\SELECTServer and press ENTER
  • Type changeloglevels /level:TRACE and press ENTER
  • Type IISRESET and press ENTER
  • Restart the Gateway Service
    1. Type NET STOP "Bentley SELECT Server Gateway" and press ENTER
    2. Type NET START "Bentley SELECT Server Gateway" and press ENTER

Check out license to the Bentley Gateway computer

Pre-XM versions of AutoPIPE are known to have issues with the SELECT Server Gateway. However, the following workaround may resolve the problem.

  • Go to the computer running SELECT Server Gateway, and select from the Windows Start menu: All Programs -> Bentley -> SelectServer -> Bentley License Management Tool.
  • Select AutoPIPE Plus from the top list, and click the CheckOut button.
  • In the dialog box that appears, enter an email address and enter 08.05.00.63 for the version number. Finally, click the OK button.
  • A license for AutoPIPE will now appear in the bottom list, indicating that it is checked out on the Gateway.
  • Close the License Management Tool.

This process checks out a license for AutoPIPE Plus on the Gateway that will be used to satisfy license requests for pre-XM versions of the product on client workstations.

The Gateway license workaround makes the Plant Security Check-in-out workaround in Step #1 unnecessary. A license does not need to be checked out on the client machine prior to opening AutoPIPE. AutoPIPE should automatically retrieve a license when opened now that a license is checked out on the Gateway

As for the cause, AutoPIPE licenses work differently than most other Bentley product licenses. This different behavior does not work well with the SELECT Server Gateway. AutoPIPE XM and later versions do not use the SELECT Server Gateway, avoiding the problem altogether.

After 30 days, the license would be automatically checked back in to Select Server; you will have to repeat this process again.
