Updated Licensing Method: Subscription Entitlement Services

The CONNECT Edition release of CulvertMaster introduces support for Bentley's a new licensing method, Subscription Entitlement Services (SES), a major advancement in Bentley's product licensing methodology. This new method gives organizations much more control over license usage and reporting, with the capability to establish concurrent use thresholds, groups of users with different levels of access and more. This also means you can now manage license activation for all of your OpenFlows products with Subscription Entitlement Services. More information can be found here: Licensing OpenFlows products - Subscription Entitlement Service

Important note: with this new licensing method, you will need to sign in to the CONNECTION Client (included with installation of CulvertMaster). If you do not currently have an account that is properly linked to your organization, please contact your Site Administrator, who can add you.

Note: The Help > About window in CulvertMaster CONNECT Edition currently does not include the license status. To check your license status, check the "Product Status" tab of the Bentley Licensing Tool (accessible from the Windows Start menu).
