# Bentley Hosted License Server

# Introduction

Open iT supports Bentley Hosted usage reporting by collecting license usage data through polling via another utility from the license server.

An Open iT client is installed on your license server for this collection. The data collector/preprocessor gathers the current license usage information from the license manager every hour using a 5-minute sample interval, triggering the data collection process. It also processes the gathered license usage. Once the data is preprocessed, it is transmitted to the Core Server, according to the client's timezone, for further storage, completing the license usage data collection and processing.
