Problem

MicroStation V8 hangs at splash screen.

Solution

When you can't get past the splash screen, it usually means there are difficulties in the licensing, specifically resolving the IP Address of the server.

There are two ways to help here:

1) Define IP address of the server in the LMserver.in f file located in the SELECTserver directory. Change the statement from

#SERVER_IP = 255.255.255.255

TO

SERV ER_IP = 100.2.23.55 (User your actual server IP Address)

Then restart the Bentley LMServer service.

2) Update the local MSV8.lic (or MSJ.lic) file to define the server IP
address

SERVER=servername IPADDRESS="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" (User your actual
server name and IP Address)

Note that both statements are on the same line, separated by one space.
