The following support solution shows how to restrict access to Bentley's online license server so that only computers from designated offices can communicate with it. This prevents computers outside designated offices from transmitting usage or activating products.
Bentley's online license server, known as Bentley CONNECT SELECTservices (formerly SELECTserver Online), provides a convenient way to license products since any Internet-connected computer with a valid site activation key can use it. However, concerns arise over unauthorized use should a site activation key be compromised.

To obtain the public IP addresses, please refer to the ProjectWise Hosted Reference document provided to you. Otherwise, please contact the Managed Services team by filing a help request using the following steps:
