Is activation process mandatory for users to use SES products?

Hi Takashi

CONNECT Editions of our products can be activated in two ways:

• By signing in to CONNECTION Client and then just starting the product - if the signed in user has the entitlements for the product, it will get activated without further ado.
• By running the Activation Wizard in Bentley Licensing Tool - this process activates the product without starting it - or even installing it - on the machine.

It makes no difference for the licence and activation, which option is used. Usually it's just simpler to sign into CONNECTION Client and start the product. 

For information about those activation options, see: How to activate products under Subscription Entitlement Service

Please note that users need to be associated with the account/registered by the account admin/co-admin in User Management.
