&lt;p&gt;I apologize for the delayed response on your follow-up question!&amp;nbsp;Because your site utilizes SELECT Open Access,&amp;nbsp;your main site activation key has&amp;nbsp;access to licenses for most of our portfolio. Consequently, all products will activate and will not display trial messages. To restrict which products can activate, I recommend creating a &lt;a href="/products/licensing/w/licensing__wiki/6467/custom-activation-groups" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Custom Activation Group&lt;/a&gt; with only the products you own or intend to lease. Then &lt;a href="/products/licensing/w/licensing__wiki/17392/how-to-migrate-users-to-a-custom-activation-group" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;configure all workstations to use the Custom Activation Group&lt;/a&gt; so that any other products will produce trial messages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Overage on product for which we are not licensed</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/475918?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Aug 2018 20:45:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:de191afe-96c9-4ede-9605-30a1ac297471</guid><dc:creator>Jeremy Hoesly</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;When a site in your organization uses a product you do not own, the first 30 days of usage ever reported is considered an evaluation period and is not counted for billing purposes as your representative stated. However, please exercise caution with this. The&amp;nbsp;30-day evaluation period begins when the first engineer&amp;nbsp;at one of your sites starts using it.&amp;nbsp; The evaluation period&amp;nbsp;is organization-wide and does not restart when other engineers start using the product. Therefore, if you intend to evaluate a product free of charge, arrange for engineers to evaluate it together.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Overage on product for which we are not licensed</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/475894?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 Aug 2018 18:11:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b949ee9c-e816-4707-89ee-b6d2a2b83381</guid><dc:creator>R.K. McSwain</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;@Jeremyhoesly - finally got an answer from our rep who says something different. He says &amp;quot;If you download a product that you don&amp;rsquo;t own, you can use it trial mode for 30 days, free of charge. If you continue to use it after that, it will incur a term license charge.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Overage on product for which we are not licensed</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/466422?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 18 Jun 2018 16:12:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:d7f4ff3d-fbcb-44fb-a976-76283cbc8001</guid><dc:creator>R.K. McSwain</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;One last question.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If our site key is being used, and the product is in Trial mode, then when the Trial runs out, what keeps the product from simply operating and causing a license overage? (1 in use, with 0 licenses available)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
