Wiki Page: Q. Details about the features available in AutoPIPE Vessel based on license type selected

Applies To Product(s): AutoPIPE Vessel Version(s): ALL Area: License Date Logged & Current Version April 2020 41.04.00.12 Problem: What licensing choices are available in AutoPIPE vessel and the differences between them? Solution: There are 3 types of licenses available for AutoPIPE Vessel: 1. Heat Exchanger 2. Standard 3. Enterprise The following table lists features that are available when selecting a given license (give attention to item super script notation where indicated, details at the bottom) : Note 1 - a. AutoPIPE Vessel uses a CAD plugin to create drawings, therefore a cad program (ex. AutoCAD, Microstation, Solidworks, etc..) must have been installed before trying to export the respective drawing from AutoPIPE Vessel. b. CAD export capability will be limited only to the type of equipment that can be modeled while using a Heat Exchanger, Standard, or Enterprise license version of the program. Example: With Vessel Standard license enabled, user cannot export a Shell & Tube heat exchanger model to drawings. User must have a Vessel Enterprise or Heat Exchanger license enabled to export a Shell & Tube heat exchanger model to drawings. Reason being, Shell & Tube heat exchanger can only be modeled with an Enterprise or Heat Exchanger license and not a Standard license. Note 2 - Individual component modeling / calculations can be performed instead of full equipment modeling and design. Note 3 - Heat Exchanger and Standard Vessel type license selections are entitled to using only 1 Add-on code (user to specify on signed Bentley Licensing Agreement). Additional Add-codes can be included in the licensing agreement, contact your Bentley salesperson for details and pricing. AutoPIPE Vessel will not limit users ability to select any code in the program. User may select more than one code in which case they will be charged separately for the code(s) that are NOT covered by their license agreement. Note, Enterprise license includes ALL the design codes. AutoPIPE Vessel will display a dialog where the user is asked to confirm their license selection before continuing. It is at this point where the user must fully understand the limitation of this note. Again, code selection will not be grayed out or limited with in the application. Users that select Heat Exchanger and Standard Vessel type license must self monitor and inform others who have entitlement access to AutoPIPE Vessel of the information contained here. Additional info: 1. Again, only those features with a check mark next to them will be available with the indicated license type selected. 2. For ELS accounts only, these accounts will be reset / invoiced on their renewal dates for any usage of Add-on codes.
