To Check Out a License
The Bentley SELECT Server licenses are network-based. You may use a license while disconnected from the network for up to 30 days. However, there may be times when you must use a Promis.e license off the network for more than 30 days, for example, when working at a remote site.
For these situations, you may check out a license for use on a computer that is not on the network (sometimes referred to as a commuter license). This feature does not apply to the NON-Select or node-locked users, as these licenses are considered to be checked out already.
- The computer on which you wish to use the checked-out license must be connected to the network. On this computer, start Promis.e and select . The Product Activation Wizard dialog will appear.
- Select one of the SELECT subscriber radio buttons that applies to your license server (either hosted at Bentley or deployed locally).
-
Select Next to continue.
The License Checkout dialog will appear. This dialog lists the available Bentley SELECT Server licenses on your system.
- Select the Use a checked out license option.
- Enter your email address in the Email Address field.
- Select the desired Promis.e license from the list in the Product Name field.
- Select the Next button to check out the file. While a license is checked out, it will not be available to other users on the network. At the end of the check-out period, the checked-out license will expire and it will again be available to users on the network.
