It is the most intrusive program I have ever seen since last time I installed a free antivirus-program. If this can't be removed I am seriously going to look into switcing to a competitor, because this is marketing done wrong. I don't want this, I can't imagine anyone except the CEO of Bentley who wants this, and there is no reason why you should need this when the competitors doesnt
Ohh, and thanks for spamming my email with "achievements" to posting this. As to prove my point
Can't visualize what issues you're seeing, but any program can be removed using Windows add or remove programs.

Hello Espen,
I assume that you are referring to the Bentley CONNECTION Client. This is now part of our licensing mechanism so is installed with our products. Please can you let us know which Bentley product(s) you are currently using? That would help us to give you more guidance.
If you sign in to the client it will remember you, and once signed in there are options that will keep it in the background.
Sorry about the congratulatory message from Bentley Communities, this is part of the system, but they are very infrequent. (In fact so infrequent that I have not bothered spending time to find out if/how they can be turned off!)

Hi, It's the Connection client yes. It has no use what so ever. All the competitors manage without, so this is basically just a prime example on how not to do marketing, and a great way to loose customers. Offcourse review-pages of CAD-programs is going to notice such a usless spam-thing, and that will in turn make sure some future cad-customers will look elsewhere. I am using Microstation.
It's an absolute pain. You can improve is a bit by making sure these are ticked
This should keep it from popping up. Unfortunately as Marc says you have to have it as that's the way the Microstation is now licensed.
