MicroStation Connect Edition doesn't start without network connection. It closes without further notice after showing the splash screen. Connection Client opens with 'Connection Issues' error.Is this expected behavior?MicroStation Connect Edition 10.12.00.40Connection Client 10.00.16.10
the best of two worlds: online/login enforcement AND expensive overuses...
In my opinion this is crazy. Its going back to days of pre dial up.
So Bentley are now saying that if you want to open your laptop on a train to view something, you have to have requested a checked out License first. Gone are the days of 30 days usage before you time out.
Who in their right mind, knows if they will need to view a file at any moment in time and have an internet connection in their pocket to do so.
THERE HAS TO BE A SOLUTION FOR THIS..WE NEED to be able to open MS and view data without an internet connection and a checked out license
I believe Bentley View is also the same, which is totally mind blowing stupid.
Try working in remote locations in WA. No wifi, no mobile reception, nothing.
Seems to be another in a long list of bad ideas.
Very disappointing.
The wiki suggests that you should have a 7 day grace period from the last time the Connect client successfully logged in.
