Virtualization Software

ProjectWiseeBBentley Automation Service is supported for use in virtual environments, however Bentley does not certify ProjectWiseeBBentley Automation Service on any specific virtualization software. While ProjectWiseeBBentley Automation Service testing is regularly performed using virtualization software, the individual ProjectWiseeBBentley Automation Service applications are tested with a focus on the operating system, not the specific virtualization software running the operating system.

CONNECTION Client Requirements

All ProjectWise installers will automatically install the CONNECTION Client if it is not already installed.

The CONNECTION Client is required for product activation, usage reporting, and Subscription Entitlement Service (SES) licensing.

The CONNECTION Client requires unrestricted access to *.bentley.com and *.signalr.net for ports 80 and 443.
