Class Policies, Management, etc.:

For this class, some basic knowledge of some computer management techniques is helpful. This is not very high level, and what I describe below should get you most of the way there.

Solutions to issues raised in class may be posted here as a resource.


If you receive a message that the license server for the Bentley software is no longer available, which can look like you are running an un-licensed version, do the following:

1) Go to start > programs > Bentley > WaterGEMS > Municipal License Administrator

2) Click on Tools > Options > Verify (sometimes the verify button is shown as "test connection") - ensure that this verifies. If not, make sure that you are connected to the internet when connecting to the Bentley Hosted server or can ping a local SELECT server when maintained on site and that you typed the server name and activation key correctly. Make sure there are no spaces before or after the server name or the activation key.

3) Click OK and go back to the main Municipal License Administrator window - click "Refresh configurations" and make sure the features column shows the correct information for your Haestad licenses.

4) Click on the license that you would like to use and then click "make default". You will see a ">>>" in the "Default" column next to the license.

5) Close the Municipal License Administrator and then browse back to start > programs > Bentley > WaterGEMS and click on "license management tool".

6) Go to tools > "send logs now" - when this completes, go back and run this command twice more to ensure that everything is synchronized.

7) Open the program. If any warnings appear, acknowledge them, close the program and move on to step 8.

8) Go back to the license management tool and perform the "send logs now" command again.

9) Reopen the program
