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.
*PLEASE NOTE: At this time, not all Bentley applications are compatible with CONNECT Licensing. Support for CONNECT Licensing will be extended as new application versions are released. Please check back as new updates of your applications become available.
