If you don't remember when a license expires, you can check the date by
placing your cursor over the Borrowing icon in your Autodesk product's status
tray or by clicking Help
Information dialog box.
When the borrowing period expires, the borrowed license is automatically
returned to the license server. When your computer is reconnected to the
network, you can run your Autodesk product from the network or borrow a
license again.
Interaction with Other License-Borrowing Tools
Using the license-borrowing feature in your Autodesk product is the
recommended way to borrow a license. Some third-party borrowing tools may
also be available to you, but these tools are not supported or compatible with
the license-borrowing feature in your Autodesk product. Other third-party or
legacy license-borrowing tools that may be available to you are the Autodesk
License-Borrowing utility (shipped with Autodesk products) and the borrowing
feature in LMTOOLS utility, a component of the Autodesk Network License
Manager on Windows servers.
If another license-borrowing tool is active when you attempt to use the license
borrowing feature, you should proceed as follows to borrow a license for your
Autodesk product:
If you run the Autodesk License-Borrowing utility that shipped with your
Autodesk product and then turn on the borrowing flag for the Adskflex
option or the All option, a license can be borrowed when you start your
Autodesk product. However, you cannot return a license until you exit
and then restart your Autodesk product.
On a Windows server, if borrowing is set in the LMTOOLS utility for all
products, you can either use the other tool to borrow licenses for your
Autodesk product, or stop the borrowing process in LMTOOLS utility, and
then use the license-borrowing feature in your Autodesk product.
If borrowing is set in LMTOOLS utility for non-Autodesk products only,
you must stop the borrowing process in LMTOOLS utility. You can then
use the license-borrowing feature to borrow licenses for your Autodesk
product. If you do not stop the borrowing process in LMTOOLS utility,
the license borrowing feature will not function.
