Activation information is organized by licensing model. The version of the application determines what licensing model is used -

• SES Activation - Subscription Entitlement Service licensing  (Bentley's current licensing model)
• SELECTserver based Activation - Used for activating most V8 XM Edition (version 8.9.xx.xx) and V8i Edition (version 8.11.xx.xx) products
• Pre-SELECTserver base Activation - Used for activating most pre- V8 XM Edition products (version 7 thru version 8.5)

Some other items you will find covered here -

• CONNECTION Client - Desktop Client, provides runtime components required for applications to access Bentley Cloud Services. The components provided through CONNECTION client are common across applications and required to participate in capabilities provided through the CONNECT Edition.
• CONNECT Advisor - An integrated service within every Bentley application, allows you to search for and access application-specific learning content
• Federated identity - Allows your organization to leverage its existing IT infrastructure to manage user credentials for your Bentley products and services. When one of your users signs into a Bentley product or service, Bentley’s Identity Management System (IMS) trusts your identity provider to validate the user’s credentials.
