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
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. In the event you have issues with the Bentley IMS registration that you or your administrative team are unable to resolve, please reach out to Bentley at 1-800-BENTLEY (1-800-236-8539).
ProjectWise Cloud Links
- ProjectWise Explorer 2023
This is version 23.06.03.12 of the ProjectWise Explorer Client for download and installation. NOTE: In order to use this version of ProjectWise, you MUST provide your own SES licensing and have a Bentley IMS account.
- CONNECTION Client
This is the version of the CONNECTION Client that is currently in use by INDOT. It can be installed on top of the version that comes with ProjectWise Explorer 2023, and will essentially update the app in place. It is our official recommendation to perform this install to be up to date on the CONNECTION Client app. As such, please consult with your CAD administrative/IT Support staff prior to installing this application, as consideration should be given to determine it is necessary or will conflict with your organization’s requirements. IMPORTANT: In order to perform this installation, you MUST first have an IMS account established with Bentley.
- 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.
