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
You can just uninstall the connection client from add remove programs. (If you don't need it that is) I have never needed to use it or wanted it installed on my system. I just simply uninstalled it and it is finally gone for good... YAY!
That's what I used to do. Now they tell me it's required for licensing.

OK then I guess you need it then. MS V8i - SS8 and I don't need it for licencing. So maybe question it.
This is an old thread, but I was wondering how to do this as I only use Bentley products intermittently. I was able to delete the registry key like suggested in this thread, but everytime I closed Connection Client, it would pop right back, turns out you have to go to Task Manager and End Task for both the Bentley processes (Connect.Client and Licensing.Service). Then it stops popping back up. I haven't been able to test if it loads on startup yet, but I've disabled it in the registry as per this thread as well as in Task Manager > Startup tab.
This is completely unacceptable that you cannot turn this off. I don't need or want this to be running full time on my system, surely it's not to much to ask to have an option to turn off the app when you are not using it without resorting to registry hacks?
