Solution:

This issue occurs if AutoPIPE 09.05.xx.xx and lower is installed for the first time on a computer that never had the application installed before. These versions require that another application already be present during the installation, Bentley IEG License Service. As a result if AutoPIPE 09.05.xx.xx and lower is installed before Bentley IEG, then when AutoPIPE is installed, the shortcut for License Management Tool is left blank. This is the problem.

Workaround:

Option #1: Correct Procedure

For people who are installing AutoPIPE 09.05.xx.xx and lower for the 1st time, must install Bentley IEG licensing services first and then install Bentley AutoPIPE.

Solution #2: Automatically fix the link by uninstall / reinstall AutoPIPE
