Bentley Systems Licensing Options
Which license is right for me?
When it comes to paying for software, your licensing options should work for you to suit your business, your project and your budget. With Bentley Systems licensing you have a choice.
Perpetual Licenses
Perpetual license ownership with annual SELECT subscription is the best for long term requirements. You own your licence, can see a return on investment and could spread the cost over two or three years.
Browse our online store for pricing or contact our sales team to learn more about payment options and what is best for you.

Great for start-ups, project-based requirements, and clients familiar with annual subscriptions, Practitioner licences really are the fastest way to get your hands on your software.
Perpetual Licenses and SELECT
Never forget – with Bentley Systems you have a choice. If your preference is to own your licenses outright, then perpetual licenses are a great option for you.
This works well if you know your software will be needed for at least two or more years. You can also share your licenses between the team with SELECT subscription. SELECT gives you network licensing, 24/7/365 support and access to online learning for yourself and your team.
You can also spread the cost of acquisition on a monthly basis, making this an affordable option that is good for cashflow.
Other Rental Options – Cloud Service Subscription
Where you have a short-term requirement or need access to multiple applications over the lifetime of your project for a variable length of time, Cloud Service Subscription (CSS) could be for you.
Cloud Service Subscription is an fund that you set up to cover all of your software requirements based on an annual estimate of requirements. Each month or quarter we calculate how many licenses you have used and debit your CSS fund accordingly.
The flexibility that this system of access to licensing is second to none as, if your fund runs to zero you simply top up according to the new annual estimate. If your project pauses or usage is less than anticipated, the cash stays in your fund until it is required.
