Microstation: V8i License

In the years that followed, Apex migrated slowly, one project at a time. But in the back of the server closet, on an old Dell OptiPlex with no network label, the ghost of MicroStation V8i ran on. It opened legacy files no other software could touch. It kept the Meridian Corridor alive. And every time the VM’s license manager logged a checkout, it wrote a tiny timestamp to a text file that Ken had named still_drafting.txt .

And nothing happened.
