Steps to Accomplish
- Right-click on the Windows Start menu, and select Event Viewer from the contextual menu.

- In the Event Viewer window that appears, expand Windows Logs, and select Applications.

- Select such listings, and examine the Application value under the General tab as highlighted below.

- If any listings are for Bentley.Connect.Client.exe or Bentley.Licensing.Service.exe, right-click on them, and select "Save Selected Events" from the contextual menu.

- Save and send the resulting EVTX file for further analysis.
