I could not get the drop down calendar to show past the 18th?  Please see the attached jpg file.

I need to check out a license.  I am using the Bentley Licensing Tool.  I see the word "checkout" in the tab in in the "checkout License" pane.  When I tried to search for instructions on how to check out a license I put "checkout" in the search bar.  This came up blank.  How about putting the #checkout on the checkout document as a tag so it can be found by the search engine?

Where is the document…

Some of you may have noticed that a new version of SELECTserver has been posted in the Software Fulfillment Center for use on deployed license servers.

제품 활성화 마법사 Product Activation Wizard나 라이선스 관리 도구 License Management Tool을 사용하여 SELECT서버에서 프로그램을 활성화할 때 체크아웃된 라이선스만 가능하도록 하는 방법입니다. 단, 이 기사는 분기라이선스 청구를 피하도록 사용량을 제한하는 방법을 설명하지는 못합니다. 분기라이선스를 피하는 것에 대해서는 이 기사를 참조하십시오.

SELECTserver는 디폴트로 사용자 워크스테이션에서 전달받은 사용량을 받아들이도록 구성되어 있습니다. 워크스테이션은 대체로 통신이 가능하면 하루에 한번 사용량을 전송합니다. 이 시스템은 SELECTserver와 실시간 통신이 필수가 아니므로 라이선스가 있는지 여부를 확인하지 않고 접근을 제공합니다. 결과적으로, 라이선스 과사용 문제가 나옵니다. 라이선스…

사용자 지정 그룹이란?

사용자 지정 그룹이란 회사에 제공된 주 사이트 활성화 키 대신 사용자들에게 제공하는 사이트 활성화 키입니다. 사용자 지정 그룹은 SELECT 계약으로 제공되는 라이선스 집합으로부터 제품과 만기일을 지정하여 만들게 됩니다.

사용자 지정 그룹을 활용하여 사이트의 하부 부서별로 다양한 목적의 그룹에 배포하고 그에 따른 사용량 추적도 가능합니다. 사용자 지정그룹의 애플리케이션 사용량은 키가 만들어진 회사 사이트에 기록되어, SELECTserver 인터페이스에서 사용량 데이터를 볼 때 활용할 수 있는 리포트가 여럿 있습니다.

사용자 지정 그룹은 누가 사용할 수 있습니까?

주로, 사용자 지정 그룹은 라이선스 집합을 공유하는 부서가 하나 이상이고, 각 그룹별로 애플리케이션을 제한하고자 할 때 활용합니다. 그러나, 사용자 지정 그룹은…

Recently, we have received a lot of questions about how license usage is calculated and how to limit license usage on SELECTserver. Many of the answers to these questions are already available on Bentley.com and Be Communities, but it can be difficult to piece together the various tidbits of information to get a good look at the big picture.

How Usage Is Calculated

Bentley’s enterprise applications such as ProjectWise, eB, and SELECTserver, just to name a few, are database centric. Although these applications utilize databases, their maintenance and implementation are not controlled by the Bentley applications. Database Servers are just like any other machine, they require maintenance.  It’s especially important to develop a maintenance plan for…

For most Bentley products, usage is machine based as described in an earlier post.  A Client Access License, known as passport allows an individual user to gain access to server applications.  Passports are not poolable, each individual user is required to have a passport allocated to them in order to access any server application(s).  SELECTserver takes care of the allocation by attributing all future usage of any passport…

The Bentley SELECTserver application comes bundled with SQL Server 2005 Express edition for use with the SELECTserver database. There may come a time when administrators will need to manage the SELECTserver database by performing common tasks such as Backups and Restores. These processes can be performed using the command line tool called SQLCMD or OSQL, but there's an easier way.

If you are running any pre-XM Bentley products such as Microstation J (V7) or Microstation V8 2004 edition, you may occasionally receive the message "No license usages were found to match your request".

If you receive this message simply go to the machine where…
