Background

Usage of Bentley products on a host machine (i.e. a computer to which a Remote Desktop connection is established) via a client machine (i.e. a computer from which a Remote Desktop connection is established) is becoming more common with the proliferation of remote access and virtualization.

Remote Desktop usage prior to License Client 11.0.12.x

Bentley products detect when usage is accrued remotely by another computer via Remote Desktop. Important differences exist in how SELECTserver-based and SES -based products associate usage to a machine name:

Citrix usage

Citrix is a virtualization technology that runs products installed on a server on client machines via Terminal Services, the same underlying technology used for Remote Desktop. Consequently, usage of Bentley products published on a Citrix server is recorded against remote client names regardless of whether they are SELECTserver-based or SES -based.

Virtual machine usage

Virtual machines act as a separate machine from the computer on which they are installed. However, the method by which virtual machines are accessed dictates the machine name against which product usage is recorded.
