Thanks for that information - it makes it a bit clearer - but I am not convinced we are getting all the log information for machines I know have been in use - I will have to try and monitor a few local machines and see what gets sent. It would have been more useful if the usage was sent at the end of a session - otherwise if someone is on leave you might not get the information for weeks.
&lt;/p&gt;

The LicTransmit exe sounds useful but our CAD software has been virtualised using MicroSoft Application Virtualization&amp;nbsp;and that folder is hidden to me until I can get someone to provide me a link to it!

Client workstations transmit their logs to SELECTserver once a day, when the first Bentley application is run that day.&amp;nbsp; As a result you are actually transmitting yesterdays usage today and today's usage will be transmitted tomorrow.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So if a machine is connected to the network all the time and everyone uses a XM or V8i application everyday then your reports will be acurrate up to 1 day ago.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; But of course this usaully isn't the case.&amp;nbsp; We generally say that reports are accurate 30 days in the rear because all workstations must report usage withing 30 days are they will go into a deactivated state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you would like to force all of your machines to transmit logs at a certain time every day, Say Midnight... You could setup a scheduled task to execute Bentley.LicTransmit.exe.&amp;nbsp; This file is located in the same directory that MicroStation was installed.
