Subscription Entitlement Service
Subscription Entitlement Service is Bentley's process for product activation and
usage tracking, improving our licensing capabilities with features such as:
With traditional SELECT Licensing, product activation has been through an activation key that an Organization distributed to all users. With Subscription Entitlement Service, 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.
