When you purchase a Bentley software license you are investing in Bentley software and, in return, Bentley commits to protect your investment through responsible licensing management. SELECT Server will:
Bentley's trust in the integrity of its users is the foundation of this new business strategy. As you manage a responsible business, Bentley believes that you should always have access to your software investment. SELECT Server (XM Edition) will always grant your users access to your applications and each month it will report your actual usage. Your ability to meet your own deadlines, therefore, is never inhibited by software availability.
Licensed XM Edition applications can operate in a disconnected mode. In that, an application no longer requires a real-time connection to the license server, as long as a user can connect at least once every 30 days. Applications record usage locally and post usage logs to SELECT Server when a connection is possible, usually each day. In effect, the desktop is telling its SELECT Server, "This is what I used since the last time I was connected to post usage".
