Hi Danny,
I would like to add to this: BE VERY CAREFUL of the Bentley licensing policy !!!
I have 6 microstations seats and i decided to migrate 2 licenses for ABD (ie 4 MS licenses +2 MS licenses).
But my architects still need to open microstation for some on going projects:
TA DA!!! Bentley charges me 2 over uses of MS (for 40 min use) = 2 x 900€ = 1800 €
No way to have some free time using 6 MS licenses while i set up the ABD configuration (wich is, by the way, very painful !)
The wrongly named "Open license"system is not at all open but charges you as much as it can.
And AECOSim "Microstation only mode" it not at all useable in production environnement, you will spend hours to try to configure AECOsim to work well with your ongoing Microstation environnement - and even if you succeed, ABD will take ages to open ( because it will load all Families and Part you don't need).
