Flexible Licensing Options

Maximize ROI with License Pooling, Portfolio Balancing and Flexible Licensing  

Using SELECTserver licensing puts critical software at your fingertips, at all times. A number of licensing options are included with a SELECT subscription:

• NEW! Portfolio Balancing: This unique new licensing innovation enables Bentley SELECT subscribers, once a year, to exchange existing underutilized licenses for new software titles of equal value, based on the current list price for both. This provides subscribers with unmatched flexibility to adapt their software portfolio each year as their software needs change.
  
  
• NEW! Country-Level License Pooling: New Country-Level License Pooling allows users to share software resources across multiple sites within a country. License pooling drastically improves software ROI for subscribers by allowing licenses to be shared - typically by 1.5 employees each. This also streamlines asset management and allocation of project work while delivering even higher ROI for software investments. 
  
  
• Trust Licensing: To help you avoid project disruptions, SELECTserver offers Trust Licensing, which eliminates time wasted waiting to run software when licenses are not immediately accessible. As a result, you have the freedom and flexibility to use the software you need, when and where you need it, with license usage insight to make informed decisions about your organization’s license needs.
  
  
• Mobile and Home Use Licensing: Subscribers can simply "check out" mobile and home-use licenses from SELECTserver and use them wherever they need to work to improve productivity during off-hours, at home, and on the road.
  
  
• Fixed-Term Subscriptions: As a SELECT subscriber, you may choose to take advantage of monthly or annual pre-payment license schemes to accommodate varying project and operational demands.
  
  
• SELECTserver Usage Reporting: SELECTserver provides insight into software usage so you can see when software use and workloads peak and trough. You can leverage usage reports for insight into company-wide activity and to plan for the software needs of upcoming projects and new employees.
