Purpose
Allows live monitoring of which Bentley desktop applications are in use and who is using them. Only products that are in use with Subscription Entitlement Service are included.
The report is refreshed automatically every minute, but application is shown as in use for a full 10 minute interval in which it was stopped (i.e. 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, etc.). Bentley’s usage logging system processes and stores data in 10-minute intervals. It is Bentley’s policy to use the 10 minute interval as our most granular time segment.
This report does not show usage of Virtuoso entitlements.

Source |
The Microsoft Datacenter that the traffic came in from. Microsoft handles routing traffic to the closest available data center from the location that the traffic originated. This often (but not always) indicates the general region of where the usage takes place: traffic is going through a secure system might show a different source than expected. It may also be that the closest datacenter was under maintenance and the traffic got routed to another one. Please note that using VPN affects this. It also indicates if the usage is from a Check Out. |
