Return a license
Your network license is automatically returned to the network license server
at the end of the return date you set when you borrowed the license. You can
also return a license earlier than the date you originally selected, as long as
your computer is connected to the network license server when you attempt
to return the borrowed license.
Returning a license means that you are returning a license to the network
server so that someone else can use or borrow it. Once a borrowed license is
returned, you can borrow a license again as long as your computer is connected
to the network license server and a license is available on the server.
If you use fluid simulation, mental ray rendering, or the mental ray local batch
render features while you have a Maya license borrowed from your license
server, you have automatically borrowed a sub-feature license. The following
steps include information on properly returning the licenses for those
sub-features. The following table lists the feature codes that you will need if
you use these sub-features.
