# Mapping Bentley Vendor License

# Introduction

The vendor license's default format is typically [server_name];[license_manager]. This mapping file allows administrators to assign a real name to the vendor license and consolidate multiple vendor licenses under a single vendor license.

Apply the configurations shown in the Open iT server.

# Configuring `bentley-product-mapping.map`

Open bentley-product-mapping.map in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.
Specify the feature to rename with the following syntax:
Mapping Syntax
```
MAP: [Combine_VendorLicense_name]   
[Bentley_VendorLicense1]
[Bentley_VendorLicense2]
```
Empty lines are allowed — any line beginning with # as the first non-whitespace character is considered a comment. Globbing is also supported, allowing you to use several globbing patterns; however, remember that they are slower than exact matches. To make your mapping files more effective and efficient, refer to the Optimize Rules to Speed-up Rename or Mapping page.

In the mapping file, entries are case-insensitive, meaning that capitalization variations, such as 'BentleyVendor' and 'bentleyvendor', will be recognized as identical. Also, note that leading and trailing spaces are removed from entries.
Example
```
MAP: ProjectWise Explorer Client 
ProjectWise Explorer Client V8i
ProjectWise Explorer Client 10.00.01.71
```
This example sets ProjectWise Explorer Client as the new vendor license name for ProjectWise Explorer Client V8i and ProjectWise Explorer Client 10.00.01.71.

You can also include custom configurations in this mapping file, such as default mapping, setting date limits on specific mapping entries, or creating nested maps.
Save the changes.

The mapping file will only affect the data collected after configuring. To apply the mapping for historical data, you need to regenerate that data. This process will help ensure that all your information is aligned and accurate.

Open bentley-product-mapping.map in the etc directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc.
