Ensure that your designated contact person and/or system administrator is able to sign in to selectserver.bentley.com and view reports on license usage. Configure SELECTserver to send over‐usage messages to a designated administrator weekly. Review your license usage via the web portal about every two weeks to better understand how your team uses licenses. To review how licenses are being used in your organization, use the Peak Usage reports from the Reports menu. To control what licenses can be used on what machines, use the Client Access Restrictions command in the Site Configuration menu of SELECTserver to apply these controls. Communicate with your Bentley account manager about your license usage, particularly if you expect your peak usage to increase above the number of licenses you own. You may wish to review the True‐Up document to best understand your options. Use license check‐out only when you need to work off site without an Internet connection for more than 30 days. There is no need to check out licenses when working in a connected environment, and doing so will record that license as being continuously in use. This may add to your peak usage level. Use the License Management Tool installed with your application to view what licenses you have available and if you have any licenses checked out on your machine. TrustLicensingFAQ

Yes, you can mix and match trust‐ and non‐trust‐licensed versions of the software on the same network and even on the same project. Note that non‐trust‐licensed versions will effectively be checking out the product license for the entire run time of the product or, if you are offline, it will continue to run until checked back in. To check out a license for offline use with trust licensing, refer to the License Management Instruction at: http://communities.bentley.com/products/licensing/w/licensing__wiki/license‐management‐tool.aspx. 2
