Upgrading Notes (08.09.03.48)
The SELECT Server XM Gateway requires a SELECT Server version greater than 8.9.3.36. The “Bentley SELECT Server Gateway” will not start unless the SELECT Server it is configured to connect to is version 8.9.3.37 or higher. For this reason it is recommended that you upgrade your central SELECT Server and then any standalone gateways. Previous version of the SELECT Server XM Gateway will continue to run against the newer SELECT Server version.
Which SELECT Server XM Component(s) Do I Need To Install?
The XM Edition of SELECT Server now provides an option to deploy SELECT Server at your location or have Bentley host your licenses for you. Your company’s decision to host or deploy determines which SELECT Server XM component(s), if any, need to be installed. Additional information to help you decide which option is right for your company can be found here.
If you wish to Deploy SELECT Server XM locally at your site, you should install:
- SELECT Server XM and, if you need to run pre-XM Edition applications, the
- SELECT Server XM Gateway service *
If you wish to have Bentley host your licenses:
- SELECT Server XM Gateway service *
* The SELECT Server XM Gateway service provides licensing backward compatibility to 2004 Edition and earlier versions. Therefore, the Gateway service is only required IF these applications will be run at your site.

- What new features have been included since the 08.09.03.36 release of SELECT Server XM?
08.09.03.36
· Client Access Restrictions - The SELECT Server Administrator may now restrict who may access the license pool by way of machine name, domain or IP address. Wild cards are supported for entering ranges. Any computer not listed in the access list will be denied a license from the site and will enter the 30 day activation period.
· Checkout Restrictions - When checkouts are enabled, the administrator is now able to preset which applications and quantity are available for checkout by the end user. Once a check-out restriction is created, any product not on the list will not be available for checkout.
· Temporary Site Activation Keys - The key(s) are created by the SELECT Server administrator at the server lever to allow access to a subset of products from a site. The key(s) may include any combination of products from the site they are created from, and may have any end-date up until the site end-date. A typical use of a temporary activation key would be for a contractor who only requires access to some products contained in the site for a period of time less than the site end date. The usage will be recorded against the site the key is created against. Since the key(s) are created by the SELECT Server Administrator at the server, Bentley does not require knowledge of the key(s) nor will they be included separately in any usage report back to Bentley.
· Export to PDF and Excel - Any report generated by SELECT Server may now be exported to PDF and Microsoft Excel format.
· Application Usage by User report - This report displays application usage by User name.
· ProjectWise Named User License (PWNUL) Usage by month report - This report displays PWNUL peak usage per month.
