ProjectWise is a suite of software provided by Bentley Systems aimed at helping to manage, find, and share active project data, including CAD and geospatial content, as well as Office documents. It is being utilized by INDOT as the project lifecycle tool and is the location of all active project data.
Please refer to the INDOT CAD Consultant Quick Start Guide for instructions on obtaining access and use of ProjectWise on INDOT projects.
ProjectWise Licensing with INDOT
Bentley is starting to move the ProjectWise Explorer product to their SES (Subscription Entitlement Service) with ProjectWise versions 10.00.03.4xx and higher. Any firms planning to move to this version of the client software, please note that INDOT will not be able to provide a licensing connection for this version per Bentley and you will need to provide your own licensing. Bentley has provided a technote covering the licensing changes to this version that can be viewed at ProjectWise Design Integration Announcements - Introduction to SES for ProjectWise Design Integration - Communities.
As part of Bentley’s transition to SES licensing and our migration to ProjectWise Cloud, all ProjectWise users will need to be registered with Bentley’s Identity Management System (IMS) so that they can sign in to activate the application. Instructions for this process can be found in the “User registration by end users” section of the following link: Licensing, Cloud and Web Services – Bentley User Registration. NOTE: If you already have an IMS account with Bentley that is tied to your organization, no action is necessary. These instructions are only necessary if you do not currently have a Bentley IMS account.
If users want to continue to use INDOT server based licensing prior to our official migration to ProjectWise Cloud, they can use the version made available in the Current ProjectWise Links section below. If users want to transition to be compliant with our ProjectWise Cloud platform, they can use our current production versions of ProjectWise Explorer and CONNECTION Client apps in the ProjectWise Cloud Links section below.
Current ProjectWise Links
- ProjectWise Explorer CONNECT
This is version 10.00.03.322 of the ProjectWise Explorer Client for download and installation when using the INDOT ProjectWise system. This is so users can continue to utilize INDOT server-based licensing. Users CAN use a more advanced version of the application, but per the preceding section, they will need to provide their own licensing per Bentley requirements. Please note that if you already have the ProjectWise Explorer Client, you should not need this provided installation. - INDOT ProjectWise Connection Registry Entry
This registry file can be directly imported by ProjectWise CONNECT Edition users to automatically configure the connection to the INDOT ProjectWise system.
