Steps Uninstalling Bentley MX from the Machine:

1. Uninstall Bentley MX V8i 08.11.xx.xx from Add/Remove Programs

In the registry:

HKLM\Software\Infrasoft

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Bentley\Licensing\1.1 if required).

HKLM\Sofware\Bentley Systems, Incorporated

HKCU\Software\Infrasoft

If these exist they can all be deleted before installing MX V8i.
