External users consuming licenses

Question

It appears when external users from other organizations are working in our hosted projectwise environment, they are consuming product licenses from our tenant even though they have their own licenses through their own tenant. Is there a way to prevent them from consuming these licenses from our tenant? 
 Thanks for your help, 
 Stephen

Hi Stephen, 
 Thanks for contacting Bentley Systems! If ProjectWise Explorer for the external users are activated with their own SELECT Server Site Activation key, it is required to just change the User's profile settings on that datasource from ProjectWise Administrator to select the option to "Activate and record usage through client's configured SELECT Server". Please find below documentation explaining the steps -

 Thank you.

Hi Sean, 
 Please be informed that there has been a new SES licensing system introduced to ProjectWise replacing the legacy SELECT Server Licensing. Please refer below documentation for more information about the same- https://communities.bentley.com/products/projectwise/content_management/b/weblog/posts/introduction-to-ses-for-projectwise-design-integration Thank you
