NOTE There is a limit to the number of licenses available for borrowing. If you try to borrow a license and
are notified that no licenses are available, all network licenses may already be borrowed by other users. If you
are unable to borrow a license, contact your network administrator.
License Returning
When the license-borrowing period expires, the borrowed license is returned to the license server
automatically. When you reconnect your computer to the network, you may start Revit Architecture normally.
Successful startup of the software indicates that you have acquired the usual (online) network license. At
that point, you may borrow a license again.
NOTE To view the expiration date for the borrowed license, click Help menu
The expiration date is displayed in Current Status.
To return a license early
1 Click Help menu
2 Click Return next to the Network license option.

Subscription Center

The Autodesk Subscription Center is available from the Revit Architecture interface. It includes several
commands that offer web-based resources to subscription customers: Subscription e-Learning Catalog, Create
Support Request, View Support Requests, and Edit Subscription Center Profile. If you installed Revit
Architecture with a network license, the install requires that you enter the network license serial number to
enable your subscription access.

or topic pages. When you click an open book, it closes. When you click pages, you select topics to view
in the right-hand pane of the HTML Help viewer. Note: Opening a book or page requires only a single
click.
Index. The Index tab displays keywords for quick information searches on Revit Architecture. To open
the topic associated with a keyword, double-click the keyword, or select it and click Display. If the keyword
is used with more than one topic, a Topics Found dialog box is displayed so you can select a specific
topic to view.
Search. Use the Search tab to search for words in the Help system and locate associated topics. After
typing the words you want to find, click List Topics.
The Search tab also includes advanced search capability. You can search for topics using wildcard (*,?)
and boolean characters (AND, OR, NEAR, NOT). To use Boolean searches, click the right arrow button
next to the search-string field.
