# New Features

#27415

Open iT supports Bluebeam historical and real-time usage reporting by collecting data through API requests to the Bluebeam Portal. Real-time usage is collected through sampling. Historical data can be built from sampling or through historical log collection.

Real-time usage monitoring is supported via the License Monitor.

The following are available for historical reporting:

  • Total License Usage
  • User Level License Usage
  • User Group Level License Usage
  • Host Level License Usage

#32101

Open iT supports Bentley Cloud usage reporting by sampling data through API request to the Bentley Portal. Real-time usage monitoring is supported via the License Monitor.

#32622

The CLIMS interface now displays an intuitive view of the changes within FlexNet license files. CLIMS compares the local and GUI copies of the file, then summarizes the changes per line, which are categorized as:

  • No Changes
  • Added
  • Modified
  • Inactive
  • Deleted

Aside from the summary, CLIMS also gives insights or warnings about syntax errors that may be introduced to the license file.

#31685

Disabler creates a report in case an application unexpectedly terminates during resumption. This provides easy access to information that may help rationalize the causality of the incident. This feature is only available for Windows.
