The process enables users to acquire and install the necessary software component that establishes a secure and authenticated link between Bentley Systems’ desktop applications and its online services. This software facilitates license management, project collaboration, and access to cloud-based resources. For example, a civil engineer might utilize this process to obtain and set up the required application to connect their OpenRoads Designer software to a project’s cloud repository.
Its significance lies in streamlining access to Bentley’s comprehensive suite of services, fostering collaboration, and ensuring software compliance. Previously, users might have faced complexities in managing software licenses and accessing project data remotely. This process simplifies these tasks, resulting in enhanced productivity and improved workflow efficiency across engineering teams. Its introduction marked a shift towards a more integrated and user-friendly experience for Bentley software users.
