Overview
Machine and Server Name Changes specifically apply to Pre-XM, file based, Licensing. With this file based licensing, both SELECTserver V8 and Nodelock V8 license files are encrypted to a specific workstation, defined by the machine name. When Pre-XM Bentley Software is installed onto a new machine, a new license file must be generated for the new machine.
To make or request a Machine or Server Name Change, a user's web login must have the Site Administrator or License Manager Role.
