We are a small firm with three users and two licenses. I am informed that we must register each user on the computer they are using. There is no link to the Connection Client software that is mentioned in emails. Where is it? Where is the link to the download? Why is this not included on the admin page?
Where is the link to the Connection Client?

Here are the general instructions: https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/sign-in_assistance_and_web_services/w/wiki/27466/download-options
You can get the CONNECTION Client from the main Software Fulfillment center. Or you can download CONNECTION Client from the main website: https://store.bentley.com/en/products/1000CC--CONNECTION-client
Thank you . This helps and I have run it on my computer but what I see is of no benefit to our firm. You answered the question but now there is a new one. Why do I need to load this on my computers at all? Why is all this extra stuff needed when all we use is STAD and RAM.
The biggest tangible long term benefit will be with user based entitlements. With the upcoming CONNECT licensing, site administrators will be able to configure the License Server so that specific users can only use specific products, or threshold limits can be set on product usage which is been requested for a long time. That's in early access now. There are also the benefits of the CONNECTION Center as a one-stop place to get product news, updates, etc.
