As Windows 8 becomes more prevalent, compatibility of structural products with the new operating system becomes a concern. This article lists what products are officially compatible.
How to determine compatibility
The search results on Bentley's Software Downloads page display the supported operating systems for each program. Programs that support Windows 8 will display "Windows 8" and/or "Windows 8 x64" in the Certified On column. Programs that do not list Windows 8 may still run, but they have not been adequately tested yet under the new operating system. Consequently, use of the programs on an unsupported operating system is at your own risk.
