In the TIMEOUT syntax, “feature_code” is the name of the product (referred
to in the INCREMENT line in the license file), and “n” is the number of
seconds before an inactive license is reclaimed by the license server.
For example, the syntax TIMEOUT Autodesk_f1 7200 means that for the
product Autodesk_f1, the license timeout period is set for 7200 seconds,
or two hours.
■ For all Autodesk products: In the Options file, enter the following syntax
on its own line (with TIMEOUTALL entered in uppercase, as shown):
TIMEOUTALL n
In the TIMEOUTALL syntax, “n” is the number of seconds before an
inactive license is reclaimed by the license server.
For example, the syntax TIMEOUTALL 7200 means that for all Autodesk
products, the license timeout period is set for 7200 seconds, or two hours.
For more information about using the license timeout feature, see the FLEXnet
documentation in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License Manager
folder.
License Borrowing
If you are running a network-licensed version of the program, you can borrow
a license from a license server to use the program for a specified time when
your computer is not connected to the network.
NOTE If you have a stand-alone version of the program, you cannot borrow a
license. To check your license type, click Help menu ➤ About ➤ Product
Information. In the Product Information dialog box, view your product license
type.
Overview
If you are using a network-licensed version of your Autodesk product and your
network administrator supports the license borrowing feature, you can borrow
a product license from your network license server to use the program when
your computer is not connected to the network. Your license is automatically
returned to the license server at the end of the day on the return date you set
when you borrowed the license. You can also return a license early.
