CE - Home use license (NOT AVAILABLE IN CE)

All

As per the 'Bentley View' saga/idea, we need to YOU to VOTE to push Bentley into making a HOME USE license available for ALL CONNECT software and NOW, not in 12-24 months time.  As it stands, this is not possible and Bentley are telling users to activate a full license, which is crazy, this could also man they go over their usage allowance and then end up paying $$$$$$$ for something that was FREE with V8i.

Stand up and be counted,.................... press the button

  • With V8i licenses coming to an end at the end of the year, Anyone using the V8i home license will soon have to use a full license.  We have seen that users install MS on their home pcs and use the connection client to login to get a full license.  this has caused issues with licenses over usage.

    We need to be able to stop this.  We also need a way to let users train themselves at home.  The HOE license programme was perfect for this.

    With an admin module CAD Managers will be able to control who has it etc.

    WE NEED the HOME licenses tools back and a management interface to help administer it

    Come on Bentley reply.
