REPORTLOG [+]report_log_path
For example (Windows), the syntax REPORTLOG +"c:\My
Documents\report.rl" means that a report log named report.rl is located
in the folder c:\My Documents.
NOTE Path names that contain spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks.
In the REPORTLOG syntax, [+] means that entries to the log file you
create are appended rather than replaced each time the Network License
Manager is restarted. (It is recommended that you use this option so that
you retain a history of log entries.)
Configure License Borrowing with the Options File
If your Autodesk product supports the license borrowing feature, you can use
the Options file to configure license borrowing options. For example, you can
define the maximum number of licenses that cannot be borrowed from your
network at any one time. In addition, you can define which users can borrow
an Autodesk product license. Licenses are borrowed per user, not per machine.
NOTE If your Autodesk product supports license borrowing, and licenses are
borrowed from a redundant license server pool, you must restart the license server
after you stop the Network License Manager.
At the end of a borrow period, the borrowed license is automatically disabled
on the user's computer and becomes available again on the license server.
Users can also return a license before a borrow period has ended.
To set license borrowing parameters
1 In the Options file, enter the following syntax on its own line (with
BORROW_LOWWATER entered in uppercase, as shown):
BORROW_LOWWATER feature_code n
In the BORROW syntax, feature_code is the name of the product in
the license file, and n is the number of licenses that cannot be borrowed.
For example, the syntax BORROW_LOWWATER Autodesk_f1 3 means
that for the product Autodesk_f1, three licenses cannot be borrowed from
the license server.
2 Enter the following syntax on the next line (with MAX_BORROW_HOURS
entered in uppercase, as shown):
