This was ok in the good old days, when you could have a reasonable discussion with your Bentley contact. Nowadays the situation is quite different, there are no discussions anymore.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I fully support the point of view that the &amp;quot;on the hour&amp;quot; licensing must go away. And I am very sure that it will in the not so distant future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why?&lt;br /&gt;
- because they need to change all the code around licensing already, as it is not according to contract (10 minutes blocking not according to contract, 3 minutes grace period not implemented, license wrongly counted as used when they are in fact blocked by third party software )&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
- because they are going to lose customers&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: CALENDAR HOUR TIME-KEEPING IS THE PROBLEM!</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/302970?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2014 13:33:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:ac7eca72-9141-4dc1-9fa3-d5512f67276c</guid><dc:creator>gatkins94</dc:creator><description>Anyone else notice that Bentley doesn&amp;#39;t respond to any of these posts of mine?

&lt;p&gt;Hi Robert. You could avoid both of those options by using License Checkout in the License Management Tool.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: CALENDAR HOUR TIME-KEEPING IS THE PROBLEM!</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/302231?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 09 Oct 2014 21:04:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6ca94b73-7d95-4e7f-a33c-13fd55e30ec4</guid><dc:creator>RobertArnold</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My issue with the calendar hour is this... &amp;nbsp;I have a copy of Microstation at home, so I can work from home or do vba programming after hours. &amp;nbsp;I sometimes will be working at home, quit Microstation, drive to work, then start Microstation on my work computer. &amp;nbsp;My drive to work is less than an hour, so I could be using two licenses for my one person.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another instance I&amp;#39;ve had is that I&amp;#39;ll be working on a custom home. &amp;nbsp;My boss will ask me to do this-and-that with the dgn, then copy it to my laptop. &amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;ll take my laptop to the job site, where we open it with Microstation to show the client where some issues are. &amp;nbsp;Again, it&amp;#39;s just one person, two separate computers, not simultaneously, but could be within the calendar hour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;--Robert&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P.S. Even so, this is a whole lot better than 1) One license per computer and 2) Having to check with the server before opening Mstn (ie, no server connection = dead computer!).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
