When your connect log in details are logged in google chrome (i.e., signed in in chrome) and you are using plaxis software in another computer logged in through connect app, will this be considered as an extra, because the account is open in google in another PC?
Dear Jamal,
Bentley Licensing Tool and CONNECTION Client will record usage when the application is running.

Thank You Mr. Stefanos Papavasileiou.
What I was wondering is,
1. If the app is running in my laptop, and
2. I am logged in to the connect centre on my desktop via google chrome not the connect app (for example, as I am logged in the forum now using my account to comment) will it calculate for both machines?
Or since the app is not running in the desktop, no additional calculation will occur.
If by app you mean PLAXIS, then it will be fine.
As explained in the link, we record usage when the application is running. Checking the Forum (nice!) or the Wiki (even nicer!) is not recorded as PLAXIS usage as long as PLAXIS is not launched on that separate computer.
Note that you can activate alerts for licensing so you do not have to worry: communities.bentley.com/.../how-to-enable-and-configure-license-alerting
Thank you. The forum, wiki and the webinars are amazing. Please keep it up, much grateful.
