 Does usage logs use always local time and not server time?

It doesn&amp;#39;t seem correct because if check-out usage is recorded using server time then the time zone is not correct and it would pop out in usage logs. But it doesn&amp;#39;t seem to be the case as have not seen such cases even if timezone is not set correct on SELECTServer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How do i restrict license usage to checkouts only</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/295823?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 13 Aug 2014 13:50:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0e36ba40-7395-44b4-91e7-95e927442e6d</guid><dc:creator>Oto</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Also there is a defect number 115238 that this option &amp;quot;&amp;quot;Restrict Usage to only checked out licenses&amp;quot; in Hosted SELECTServer doesn&amp;#39;t work. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Usage logs&amp;local time</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/289432?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2014 19:51:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e0dd037c-e456-47f3-8f75-fd0008767db5</guid><dc:creator>Jeremy Hoesly</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Trust licensing usage data is recorded locally using the system clock and a GMT offset to account for time zone differences. However, a license checkout or check-in is handled on the server end since it requires a real-time transaction with the server. Checkout and check-in transactions are recorded using the system clock on the server instead. So in your example, two usages would be recorded in the 12:00-13:00 hour since licenses were checked out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please note that the results in your scenario would be different when using the product without a license checkout since usage would be recorded using the system clock on the local computer instead. &amp;nbsp;In this case, one usage would be logged in the 11-00-12:00 hour for the 11:55 computer, and one usage would logged in the 12:00-13:00 hour for the 12:05 computer. Usage is recorded this way because a real-time connection is not required for trust usage reporting. Usage is simply queued locally and reported at a later date.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Windows provides time synchronization tools that can be used to eliminate time discrepancies like the ones you described. For computers outside a domain, please refer to the following &lt;a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/set-clock" target="_blank"&gt;help page&lt;/a&gt; on Microsoft&amp;#39;s website.
