Dear Support,
I have a question regarding security of activation key, can we change license activation key ? if someone else know your license activation key, and use it for its own purposes, how to deal with the situation ? Is there any possiblity to control the activation or control the usage if someone know your license key ?
Looking for prompt response ..
For Hosted and Deployed licensing you can create a temporary site activation key that expires on a given day. See the following wiki: https://communities.bentley.com/products/licensing/w/licensing__wiki/13034/how-to-create-temporary-activation-keys
However, our new CONNECT Licensing system replaces site activation keys with user validation, enhancing security for products that use CONNECT Licensing . Please refer to the following discussion here: https://communities.bentley.com/products/licensing/f/licensing-and-activation-forum/173065/i-want-user-to-use-with-email-id-only-not-license-key-how-to-do-that/499085#499085

Yes, CONNECT Edition products do not require an activation key. User has to be CONNECTED and signed in to the CONNECTION Client to activate the products.

Yes, our licensing team can generate a new site activation key for use with SELECTserver-based products if it should become compromised. Just note that any authorized users using the site activation key will need to update it in the License Management Tool. Please file a service request.

You can prevent access to the site activation key outside certain authorized locations using Client Access Restrictions.

The following product list shows product versions that no longer require a site activation key. Instead they use a Bentley username and password to activate.
