Licensing Changes
Licensing and entitlement verification have migrated from Sentinel HASP to Bentley CONNECT.
Licensing and entitlement verification are now handled by Bentley’s Subscription Entitlement Service (SES).Entitlement
The API’s install bundle includes a CONNECT licensing DLL (bentley.entliclib.dll) and CONNECTION Client installation package (Setup_CONNECTIONClientx64_10.00.18.022.exe). The API’s licensing DLLs link with the CONNECT licensing DLL.
CONNECTION Client must be installed by your developers and users. To avoid licensing denial-of-use, please ensure your developers and users sign-in to CONNECTION Client at least once every 7 days.
Installation of LEGION Simulator is not required to use the API but you, and your users, must have licence entitlement for both products.
Distribution
CONNECT licensing DLL and the CONNECTION Client installation package must be distributed with your product.
