MicroStation  CONNECT Edition

Maintain the Highest Level of Support for your MicroStation® Projects
We understand that on your way to implementing MicroStation CONNECT Edition, you may have some projects on which it may not be practical to implement CONNECT Edition by July 1, 2020.
Great news, you can buy yourself some time! No matter what pre-CONNECT Edition version of MicroStation you're using, we have an easy and reliable solution to give you the time you need to get MicroStation CONNECT Edition rolled out without running out of runway.
You can now simply download and install the newly released MicroStation V8i SS10 that remains 100% compatible with all your V8i standards, files, and MDL applications* in order to extend your support status until January 1, 2022.

By installing this new release for use on your existing V8i projects, you can also: · Be ready for Windows 10 and stay current with the latest operating system. · Maintain your existing Bentley Support status to extend the time before you reach Discontinued Support on July 1, 2020. · Gain time for planning and rolling out MicroStation CONNECT Edition on your new and existing projects to have the time you need for a smooth transition. · Facilitate getting your users set up as Connected Users to eliminate one of the steps to get them upgraded to CONNECT Edition.

To help you decide whether to go straight to CONNECT Edition or to install V8i SS10 as a interim solution, here's a helpful guide.
