2010

2 Execute the following command: lmutil lmborrow adskflex enddate
[time]
where enddate is the date you will return the license, formatted as follows:
dd-mmm-yyyy. The time argument is optional, but is specified in 24-hour
format (hh:mm).
For example: lmutil lmborrow adskflex 14-oct-2010 [14:00] borrows
a license until October 14, 2010 at 2:00 pm.
3 Launch Maya.
This borrows a Maya license from the server.
4 (Optional) If you plan to use any sub-features of Maya (such as fluid
simulation, mental ray rendering, or the mental ray local batch render)
while using a borrowed license, use those sub-features now while you are
still connected to your license server. This automatically borrows a license
for those sub-features.
After you have used the sub-feature(s) while connected to your license
server, you can then use the sub-features later when you are not
connected.
Stop borrowing a license
Stopping license borrowing is different from returning a license. You can stop
borrowing licenses if you have already checked out all of the licenses you
want, but you still plan to use sub-features while you are connected to the
network server and do not want to borrow those licenses.
For example, you can borrow a Maya license and a mental ray subfeature
license, then stop borrowing so that when you use fluid simulation (and
automatically use a subfeature license for fluid simulation), you do not borrow
the fluid simulation license from the server. In this situation, after you stop
borrowing, your Maya and mental ray licenses are still borrowed until the
return date that you set, but the fluid simulation license you used stays on
the server.
