I am trying to create a new computer image for our company. We are currently on V8i SS3 - 8.11.8.151. The problem is with the new build and V8i - SS7 - 8.11.12.235, the Bentley Connection Client keeps popping up when logging into the machine not the software the machine, can this be turned off?
When it asks me to login . I tried my Bentley website login but it does not work. I don't want to have all our users to have to create a Bentley login just to get.
Please let me know thanks

Hello Mike,
The CONNECTION Client has settings to prevent it from starting (see CONNECTION Client Preferences) however some of the applications (in your case MicroStation) start the CONNECTION Client so those settings are overridden. The only version of MicroStation that I'm aware of that overrides the CONNECTION Client settings is MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 4).

Two of my customers have declined to use the current Bentley View due to forced registration!
Please Bentley, urgentliy initiate another type of licensing. Here in Europe is your way of licensing not okay!
Is there an update to this? Currently on 10.00.19.31 and, even with everything disabled on startup, the Connection Client still auto launches on the image.
Hello,
We are still waiting to hear back on this matter. Ideally, the connection client or licensing would not even start unless a product was called. If it does have to start, It would be much more bearable if it started silently in the system tray.
Our users rarely use the Bentley products and it is a nuisance for the CC to be starting up all of the time.
Please give us the ability to kill the client and have it NOT start on start up. Alternatively, allow a sign-in to last 90 days but DO NOT present the CC unless a Bentley product is called.
Thanks,
James
You, me, and every other Bentley user. Ever.

This worked for me.
DOS/CMD/bat file:
taskkill /F /IM "Bentley.Connect.Client.exe"taskkill /F /IM "Bentley.Licensing.Service.exe"
PowerShell:
Stop-Process -Name "Bentley.Connect.Client" -ForceStop-Process -Name "Bentley.Licensing.Service" -Force
I created a Task that ran on login (with a 30 second delay) that ran a .bat file that killed CC. It works and the user doesn't see it. It's a little dumb that it requires this
