Background 

Occasionally Bentley will bring out new products which are consolidations of the functionality of existing applications. The older applications that are being replaced are then known as legacy applications.

 When this happens, typically contracts go thru a migration process - 

• At renewal, old depreciated products are removed from the contract
• The new product that replaces older products are added to the contract 

 

Licensing of Legacy Applications 

Sometimes (but not always), legacy applications are added as a "child product" of the new application, essentially giving the new licensing the ability to run the older applications it replaces. 

• Usage of legacy applications will be reflected as the new application in usage reporting, In this regard, you may be generating usage for the new application that you don’t actually have installed.
• Any term license usage would be billed as usage of the new consolidated product, not the legacy application.
• To find the legacy product that generated usage for the new, consolidated product, you can do a Data Export under Subscription Analytics, For "Machine Usage Data".  The resulting spreadsheet will have a column labeled "OrigProduct". Refer to -
