Overview

 

If a client workstation will have limited or no internet/network connection your account may decide to utilize a checked out a license. Licenses can be checked out from the client workstation (see Client Check In and Out Instructions for XM and Higher [TN]) or by a SELECT administrator (see Admin Check In and Out Instructions for XM and Higher [TN]) or by Bentley Licensing Support  .

If the license has been checked out by an administrator or Bentley, an XML file is generated.  Generally these XML files are sent via an email attachment which the client workstation will need to import in order to activate the software. Save any received XML files to a location on the client workstation (or least accessible from it).

To import the XML file on the client workstation:

  1. Start the License Management Tool.
  2. Make sure that you are on the License Checkout Screen.  Some older versions default to this screen, newer versions will need to click on the Tab.
  3. Go to File>Import.
  4. Navigate to an XML license file, and click Open. If successful, a dialog should state that the license import succeeded.
  5. Close the License Management Tool by selecting “Exit” from the “File” menu. If the product(s) are currently running, you will need to restart them in order for your new license(s) to take effect.
