Hi,
I've seen multiple discussions about license overages and trusted licensing. Has anyone thought of or developed a Windows script that would log each time Microstation is opened to a local database. Then before the script would open Microstation (or the appropriate Bentley application), it would check the local database and warn you if it's been opened on too many machines in the last hour?

Hi Robert,
Since Bentley does not want to allow capping, our IT department is looking to building our own logging/ sniffing system to prevent overuseage and unexpected invoices :(. I will let you know how they plan to approach this.
I also noticed some users on this forum mention commercial available tools for this. Anyone uses these ? share experience ? sorry I just joined this Forum, did not read all the history. But we are also upset by the new rules. All we ask is the option to Cap the licenses (like many of you). The Autodesk FlexLM server does it - simple and clear system.
Best regards,

Right now we are not having overage issues, so I have not been personally looking into this. (We lost an employee.)
Thanks for all the responses.
