This is a request of ours as well, but from every indication Bentley is not planning on providing admins or companies with any way to regulate this. The whole thing seemed to be marketed as being more transparent for them so that companies could have full use of the entire Bentley offerings, but not letting it being abused. This is a great notion and opportunity and when you download a new product there is much more control over it. However, once that is downloaded for the first time and in regards to existing licenses there is very little control. You don't even have anyway to know how many licenses you own without looking at an invoice. We formerly hosted our own SelectServer and that would tell us how many licenses had purchased AND the usage. I think Bentley may only beginning to see the backlash in these forums from the frustrations that are beginning with a lack of transparency in BOTH directions. I had a recent article on my RSS feed regarding a competitor already using this as a negative marketing tool, but that thread seems to be non-existant now for some reason.
