New Version of SELECT Server is now available

 
  
The new version of SELECT Server is now available, and builds on our mission to help you maximize license utilization and minimize license administration using pooled and trust licensing.

As a significant upgrade to SELECT Server XM Edition, the latest release of SELECT Server (simply named with no suffix or version name) adds Custom Activation Groups, substantial new reports and reporting tools, and many other administrative enhancements.

Custom Activation Groups – Create and manage “mini” license pools within a site to meet the needs of a specific group, such as a department or a project team.

New Reports, and an Improved Report Options Dialog – Includes new reports that will provide you and your organization much greater license usage insight for improved business and resource planning including:

  • New Standard Reports – View in/out time stamps, total time usage of an application, Bentley product inventory by machine, and much more.
  • Usage History Reports – See daily and monthly usage by machine or user. You can now also see usage statistics for Structural Passports.
  • Custom Activation Groups Reports – Monitor usage trends within your Custom Activation Groups. Track usage separate from SELECT Server’s standard reports to provide a granular perspective of your groups’ license usage.

SELECT Server now also features a revamped Report Options Dialog. No more time-consuming post-analysis to get the information you need about license usage. With more report options to choose from, you’ll get more visibility into software usage, according to your needs.

Administrative Enhancements – We said at the start that SELECT Server is about minimizing license administration. Here are some ways the latest SELECT Server helps makes license administration a breeze:

  • 64-bit Support – Take advantage of the performance improvements offered in a 64-bit operating system.
  • Multi-Application Checkout – Maximize productivity of your mobile users with the ability to check out multiple licenses at one time.
  • Passport Checkout – Checkout a ProjectWise Passport for long-term disconnected use.
  • Time Zone Settings – Record and report site usage according to local time, not just GMT. Administrators may now set the local time zone for each site managed by their SELECT Server.
  • Increased SSL Support – Email notifications between SELECT Server and your mail server are now secure with SSL support.
  • Gateway-only Installer – Reduce your installation time when you want to connect remote offices that are using older Bentley applications. The gateway-only installer now comes as a separate download.

A complete list of new features and enhancements may be found in the Read Me and FAQs that are posted to http://www.bentley.com/selectserver/.
