How do I license my MicroStation software?

Microstation has a new licensing technique.  This is what you need to do:

	Find your computer name (see next question).
	Email your MicroStation serial number and computer name to registration@bentley.com.
	Bentley will return an email containing your license number.
	Copy all of the text in the actual email from Bentley and paste it into NotePad and save the file as msj.lic(if MicroStation J), msv8.lic(if MicroStation V8), DRAFTV8.lic (if PowerDraft v8) etc., into the bentley\program\licensing folder (do only the email, not any MIME or other attachments).

License pooling is available for networks if you have SELECT.  The advantage is that you can have MicroStation loaded on more seats than the number of licenses you own.  At any one time, you can only have running the number of licenses you own.  If you want to take advantage of the license pooling option, please contact us.
