License borrowing If your Autodesk product supports the license borrowing
feature, you can allow users to borrow an Autodesk product license from a
network license server so that they can use the product without being
connected to the license server. A license can be borrowed for a limited period
of time.
License timeout With license timeout, you can set a timeout period on your
license server. When set, license timeout returns a license to the license server
when a connection with the workstation is lost, or if a license is checked out
but the Autodesk product is idle on a workstation for longer than the timeout
period you define.
For more information about configuration options, see Set Up and Use an
Options File on page 45.
For specific information about using FLEXlm configuration tools, see the
FLEXlm documentation by navigating to C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network
License Manager\Docs\FlexUser\LicensingEndUserGuide.pdf.
SAMreport-Lite License Reporting Tool
While not part of the network installation, a version of SAMreport called
SAMreport-Lite is available to help you track network license usage. With
SAMreport-Lite technology from Macrovision Corporation, you can monitor
client usage for Autodesk network licensed products.
SAMreport-Lite generates usage reports in a variety of output formats including
HTML, text, and Report Interchange Format. For more information about the
SAMreport-Lite features and for instructions on installing SAMreport-Lite, see
the SAMreport-Lite User's Guide.
NOTE You can install SAMreport-Lite and access the SAMreport-Lite User's Guide
from the Autodesk product menu browser.
For additional information about SAMreport-Lite, and for updates and fixes
for this feature, visit the Autodesk website at:
