&lt;p&gt;To add to the previous notes, here is an example of how to create a Deployment Image for use with SCCM: &lt;a href="/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/28704.microstation-connect-how-to-create-a-deployment-image"&gt;MicroStation CONNECT: How to create a Deployment Image&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Connect Edition and cloud administration information</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/404750?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Mar 2017 14:36:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0fa1074d-6972-446b-9de9-7aa39a908c2a</guid><dc:creator>Tamicca Sellars</dc:creator><description>Hi Michelle, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here&amp;#39;s a link to a wiki to answer question number 1 to stop updates from the administrative side: &lt;a href="http://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/sign-in_assistance_and_web_services/w/wiki/32507.software-administration-service"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../32507.software-administration-service&lt;/a&gt; . From the CONNECTION Client side you can also tell it to not check for updates. Here&amp;#39;s a link to a wiki on how to do that: &lt;a href="http://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/sign-in_assistance_and_web_services/w/wiki/29498.connection-client-preferences"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../29498.connection-client-preferences&lt;/a&gt; . Look in the Updates section. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For question 2 you can download your applications from the Fulfillment Center and deploy them through SCCM if supported. Here is a wiki that explains how to download software from the Fulfillment Center: &lt;a href="http://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/sign-in_assistance_and_web_services/w/wiki/30658.software-download-instructions"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../30658.software-download-instructions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Currently, Personal Portal access is complimentary and is of no cost to you. As for your passport usage question I will have to defer to a licensing colleague. I see that you&amp;#39;ve posted your question in the Licensing and Activation forum (&lt;a href="http://communities.bentley.com/products/licensing/f/275813/p/124974/404737#404737"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../404737&lt;/a&gt;). You should get an answer soon.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
