Bentley Term License Factsheet

Every Bentley Perpetual License comes with a yearly maintenance subscription called SELECT.

With SELECT, you will benefit from:

1. 24 / 7 Technical Support
2. License Pooling – so you can share your license across your organisation
3. Access to the latest Product Updates.
4. Open Access to all Bentley Software with Term Licenses

Open Access is what gives all Bentley users the ability to use additional licenses which they do not own, in return for a Term License fee.

Advantages: A term license acts as a supplement to your perpetual licenses. This gives you the flexibility to use applications beyond your owned license pool, in return for a fee.

Disadvantages: Term Licenses are charged at a premium rate and if used consistently are not a cost-effective way to license Bentley products.
