&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have looked over the strategies to limit usage and they suggest just that.&amp;nbsp; I am being forced to install programs on fewer machines out of fear of being charged for overuse, but this more &amp;quot;FLEXIBLE&amp;quot; somehow.&amp;nbsp; i don&amp;#39;t get it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I learned CAD on Bentley and have always had a deep affection for the environment, and my preference is being soured because of these ridiculous licensing issues.&amp;nbsp; If we cannot limit how many users can open any one program on our contract, how can we not be afforded some accidental usage?!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Turns out it was because I had a team of people evaluating CONNECT. Most of our users are on Bentley MAP PowerView and we have a ton of those licenses, however PowerView 64 (or CONNECT PowerView) is not available at this time so they had to install MicroStation CONNECT to test our software (and CONNECT in general).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apparently &amp;quot;Trust&amp;quot; licensing has been abandoned by Bentley. I don&amp;#39;t recall seeing a notice about this, maybe they just decided to change the definition of &amp;quot;Trust&amp;quot;. At least we could have been sent a warning on our first overage that we would be charged for an additional license for this quarter so I could deal with it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are working my our butts off converting 15 years of in-house MDL software to 64bit c++ and need several departments to test it. I didn&amp;#39;t grok that this would end up costing us so much money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an outrageous charge for a few minutes of testing and without any warning. To top it off - most of my CONNECT related service tickets remain unanswered, were closed without a response, or just shunted to this forum to have regular users answer them (if they can with limited/incomplete documentation). If Bentley is going to charge this much money for us to beta test their software at least they could answer my fraken support requests.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love MicroStation but my love for SELECT is quickly beginning to wane.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Extraordinary usage on 1 day</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/licensing_cloud_and_web_services/f/forum/153557/extraordinary-usage-on-1-day</link><pubDate>Wed, 02 May 2018 13:21:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:f8a3267f-aff1-4112-8444-f72d3018267f</guid><dc:creator>R.K. McSwain</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I ran across this while researching a single user&amp;#39;s usage of GeoPak.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over 13 days of usage in a single day. 12+ days of that usage based on&amp;nbsp;checked out licenses?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How is this even possible? There are not 6 versions of Geopak on each of the two machines he/she was using that could even be checked out.&lt;/p&gt;
