Getting up-to-date information from SelectServer V8i

We have just gone live with MicroStation V8i family of products and are using a hosted Select Server license at Bentley.

I need to know at what point I can judge that the usage figures reported are complete so that I can generate meaningful management reports - i.e. how often do client PCs with an activated license send their usage back to Bentley HQ - it certainly does not appear to be every day.

Is there any way to configure the clients to set a particular license reporting interval?

The clients are PCs permanently connected to the network with an active Internet connection.

  • Although I have gotten comfortable with the current setup, I wonder why the license transmit was not programmed to run AFTER you close an application.  Was that thought to be too intrusive on resources?  That scheme might have kept the usages a bit more current.  We have the same setup described by Mike; hosted license server, etc.  I'm sure this was considered, but ultimately abandoned by the developers.
