Upgrading is easy if you ever want to extend its capabilities. I also use a USB Key every day and have been for many years and have never had an issue. If we made you feel like you were in the wrong I apologize on behalf of our collective (SITECH and Trimble) Support / Software Team, I am sure that was not their intent. If your computer had a Network License and it got destroyed in a Computer Crash or Process, our support team should be able to get a Network License restored without issue. Each named user is assigned a license by their administrator, which cannot be shared with another user. If the software license is installed on your personal computer or an office server should make little difference to getting it reinstated in the event of a failure. Subscription licenses are for unique named users. The clean up utility can be downloaded from the Utilities, License, and Installation Support link on the TBC page. This is why you should use the Trimble Office clean up utility to uninstall TBC. The convenience of portability and offline / out of office use should be weighed up against the security of a Network license that is maintained in your office. Yes you are correct, uninstalling TBC from the Settings, Apps & Features will only uninstall TBC and not any of the associated applications. With a USB Key it is a physical thing vs a Software or Network License where we can remove a license prior to installing a new or updated one. We have no way of telling that you have Lost, Mislaid or had it stolen. Like any other property, the USB Key is a valuable asset and should be insured. In most cases where you have lost a key or had one stolen, provided you can provide a Police Report that covers you we will typically replace at no charge provided that you are under warranty or extended warranty. We make a charge for lost USB Stick licenses or stolen licenses in the event that you are not under warranty and cannot provide a theft or loss report to substantiate the claim for Loss or Theft. I was told not to long ago that Trimble was working on moving to an online registrations similar to my Bluebeam or Bricscad licensing but I’m not holding my breath. Is anyone using it? Have there been problems around it beside the potential of loosing it and it taking up a USB port? If you add modules does Trimble provide a new stick? I hear it is $1000 to get one which seriously seems like a lot. Make better decisions, decrease costly mistakes and increase efficiency in the office and at the job site. My question is about using the USB drive license. Trimble® Business Center (TBC) survey CAD software helps surveyors and civil contractors prepare and deliver high-accuracy GNSS data, create CAD deliverables and leverage full data traceability throughout the project lifecycle. You are always working with reliable and accurate information. With Trimble Connect, you can work anytime, anywhere, and from any device its all at your fingertips. I have only one seat and use the network license feature. Trimble Connect is a collaboration tool that connects the right people to the right constructible data, at the right time. Because the computer would just become totally non functional I could not get my TBC-HCE license removed which required Sitech/Trimble to send a new code and me feeling like I had done something wrong. Dell finally exchanged with a new 5520 and it has been working for a month without issues. It had some kind of internal problem that replacing mother board twice, hard drive twice and even sending it in for repair did not fix it. Short story is when it worked it was great.
