Product Activation Wizard
After a product is installed, you must obtain a license and then activate that license. Obtaining a license and activating a product are two separate steps. Use the wizard to help you through the process.
To open it inside MicroStation, select Utilities > License Management to open the License Management Tool dialog. Then, select Tools > Product Activation Wizard. The wizard also opens automatically at the end of product installation. 
Activating against a local SELECT Server
To activate the product against a SELECT Server that you have deployed, select the first option.
Enter your Server Name and Site Activation key. If you are using HTTPS, enable the HTTPS (SSL) check box. If you are using a Proxy server to connect to the SELECT Server, click the Proxy button and enter the Proxy Server information, then click OK. Click Next. The Wizard Selections page displays the information you provided. Review the information and click Finish to activate the product.
Activating against a hosted SELECT Server
To activate products from a Bentley hosted SELECT Server, select the second option.
Enter your Site Activation key. If you are using HTTPS, enable the HTTPS (SSL) check box. If you are using a Proxy server to connect to the hosted SELECT Server, click the Proxy button and enter the Proxy Server information, then click OK. Click Next. On the Check out a license now page, enter your email address. The appropriate product name and version are supplied. Click Next. The Wizard Selections page displays the information provided. Review the information and click Finish to activate the product.
Activating if you are a NON‐SELECT Bentley customer
Select the third option, click Next and select the option that applies to your site on the License Information page.
If you have a license file ready for import, select the option, click Next and Browse to the license file. On the Wizard Selection page, review the file location and click Finish. The Product activation complete dialog opens and the activation is complete.
If you have an activation key, select the option, click Next and enter your activation key in the Site Activation Key field. The Server Name is supplied. To enable HTTPS, check the HTTPS (SSL) check box.
If you are using a proxy server to connect to SELECT Server, click Proxy and enter your Proxy Server information. Click Test Connection. The Product Activation dialog opens and the product is activated.
If you do not have any license information, select the option, click Next and you can license the product in evaluation mode. Request a license from Bentley Sales Support by clicking the Go To Bentley.com button.
