Q. Why should I upgrade to the latest version of AutoPIPE?

Answer: 

Bentley recommends using the latest version of Bentley software whenever possible.

• To boost productivity with the latest enhancements and workflows.
• To be up-to-date with the latest Piping Codes. Instead of project documentation requiring a specific software version to be used (potentially limiting the use of more recent piping code updates), why not write your project documentation to require a specific piping code (and year) to be used for analysis. If a specific software version must be cited, we recommend appending “and higher” to the version number – that way any version of the program moving forward containing the specified piping code and year can be used.
• To maintain compatibility with newer operating systems and server versions. Don't wait until Microsoft ends support for yours.
• It’s free!! With Bentley’s Subscription Entitlement Service, upgrades are available at any time at no charge.
• To receive continuous Technical Support and avoid discontinued support for older versions of Bentley applications.
• To ensure your software is up-to-date with all critical error fixes. If a known issue in the program is discovered, updated versions containing the fixes could be installed to ensure the accuracy of your model’s analysis and results.
