SYNCHRO 2019 Frequently Asked Questions These are the FAQs for the recent SYNCHRO 2019 release. I have a Named User Pro subscription – how do I upgrade to 2019? If you have a pre-paid annual subscription, Named User Pro entitlement, you can upgrade to 2019 at any time within your subscription period. There is no price change. The entitlement change requires you to file a Bentley Service Request. The Service Request entry point is on the Subscription Services Portal ( https://connect.bentley.com/Enterprise/ ) or the user’s Connect Portal ( https://connect.bentley.com/ ). Click on New Service Request and select “ Billing, Order, and Contract Support ”, this will launch the Service Request Portal Ensure that the following are set: Category = “Account” Problem Area = “Product/Subscription Adjustment” and “Redeploy Licenses” Details indicate how many licenses are to be migrated. It is important to understand that this upgrades the product entitlement to SYNCHRO 2019. Submit the Service Request The Service Request will be automatically routed to the Bentley financial operations team who will make the necessary changes to the organizations records, and the user will receive an email that the entitlement has been changed. The SYNCHRO Pro 2019 entitlement will now be available. Note – this is not the SYNCHRO user service request system. I have a Shared User Pro subscription – how do I upgrade to 2019? Shared User licenses have been deprecated and are no longer available for SYNCHRO, starting with the SYNCHRO 2019 release. If you want to upgrade from a Shared User license to 2019, you will be issued two (2) 2019 Named User licenses for each existing Shared User license. You can follow the same process as described as the Named User license upgrade process described above.
