How to Configure Bentley Cloud in Open iT Collection-LicPoll collection

Key Takeaways
  • Bentley Cloud collection can run on any machine with an Open iT Client or Core Server and an internet connection, using Bentley Cloud credentials supplied by the customer.
  • Running openit_bentleycloud -c -s from OpeniT’s bin directory should return license usage; if it fails, have the customer test their login on the Bentley portal first.

Bentley's cloud licensing keeps its usage data on Bentley's side of the fence — until someone connects Open iT to it. The bridge is a single utility, openit_bentleycloud, run from the bin directory of any Open iT client or Core Server machine with an internet connection and the customer's Bentley Cloud credentials. Once the command returns license usage instead of an error, the rest is familiar territory: configure LicPoll, run confbuilder, and confirm the status file appears in the Licpoll folder.

Requirements #

  1. Open iT client or Core Server machine that has internet connection.
  2. Bentley Cloud credentials –customer’s responsibility

Note: You can do this on any machine that has OpeniT Client or Core. In CPH we put it on their Core Server and as long as the server has internet connection and Open iT Client, it will work.

Steps #

  1. In the command prompt with administrator level, go to OpeniT’s bin directory
  2. Then run this command: openit_bentleycloud -c -s
    1. Ask the customer about the email and the password, if it doesn’t work, let them try to login on their portal first to check if it is working.
  3. After this command, there shouldn’t be an error, but it will show the license usage.
  4. We can now configure Licpoll like we usually do.

Active = True
Product-name = whatever the customer wants
Arguments = -t “C:\ProgramData\OpeniT\Data\temp\Bentley” – depends on where their data folder is

  • Save and run confbuilder.
  • Run sample collection then see on Licpoll folder the status file.
