CONNECT Licensing
|
CONNECT Licensing is Bentley's new process for
product activation, enhancing our users' digital workflows and improving our
licensing capabilities with features such as:
- License alert
notifications when you are approaching a custom usage threshold
- Replacing site
activation keys with user validation, enhancing security around your Bentley
licenses and subscriptions
Traditionally, product activation has been
through an activation key that an Organization distributed to all of its users.
With CONNECT Licensing, product activation is managed by user sign in through
the CONNECTION Client, which is installed on each machine that uses Bentley
applications. This offers a more secure and manageable system as it offers
usage alerts, notifying your users when they are about to reach a certain usage
limit set by the Administrator.
