It is important to note that Bentley has officially discontinued "Mainstream Support" for MicroStation V8i. This means: No more security updates. No more bug fixes. Limited compatibility with Windows 11.
Cracks modify the software's core binary code. This frequently leads to random crashes, corrupted save files, and "blue screen" errors that can ruin weeks of work.
If a cracked version fails or a file becomes unreadable, Bentley Systems will not provide support. You are essentially on your own with critical project data.
