What is the purpose of user registration in the XM Edition?
Our original implementation of MicroStation on the Web endeavored to introduce and combine the registration of a user with the use of the product. User Registration and Product Activation are two separate, but complementary, implementations in the XM Edition. The purpose of registration, entered via the Support Path Help menu entry, is to make and maintain contact with individual users of Bentley applications. This helps Bentley to better understand who our users are and what applications they use, therefore enabling us to provide better service to them.
