Is there a way to block another computer from opening MicroStation if another session is opened on another pc? This would be so helpful with the chance of overage uses
No, There hasn't been for years. You may be able to get that functionality from a third-party license management software, but not from Bentley.

UGH! I really hate this overage system.
I have 3 Autodesk programs and they all have a home license. Can you imagine overage fees with Bentley If I was using 3 Bentley programs

I don't recall hearing anyone getting a false usage warning message before when I supported this application. I would log a Service Request and provide the workflow, it seems as thought something has changed.
Thanks
Multiple ST are logged but they are dealt case by case not possible to log as a global issue.

Thanks, I looked at your SR number (which was for Context Capture) and the issue was addressed with a new version 10.17.00.39.
No it was not addressed you fell into the same logical trap. It was addressed for this specific scenario but it should have not generated invoice in the first place. How is 0 minutes overusage even possible for blocked product? Is it addressed?
I am not with the Entitlement Management team, but I will make sure they are aware that there are other examples of this happening. I thought that there was something specific to the CONNECTION Client, but from the SR you provided, it appears that this is in the product/entitlement.
It was just an example that block doesn't work as expected. I had more numbers which could provide later this week. Maybe this was related to CONNECTION client but never received any explanation of the cause. The alert shows correctly that no entitlements for this product with option to close the program but it generated usage in the background while reading this same alert.
I appreciate the input. I will take other examples when you get a chance. Thanks
Here is a simple solution. If you have Microstation running on PC number 2 and you want to run it on Pc #1 you can choose the pc .you want to allow to have access and take control can do it why can't Bentley?
