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):
MAX_BORROW_HOURS feature_code n
In this syntax, “n” is the number of hours that a license can be borrowed.
For example, the syntax MAX_BORROW_HOURS Autodesk_f1 360 means
that for product Autodesk_f1, licenses can be borrowed for 360 hours, or
15 days.
NOTE Licenses are borrowed in increments of 24 hours only. Any number
that is more than a 24-hour increment is not used. For example, the number
365 would be rounded down to 360 hours, or 15 days.
For more information about setting up the license borrowing feature, see the
FLEXnet documentation in the C:\Program Files\Autodesk Network License
Manager folder.
NOTE To borrow a license in an Autodesk product, click Help menu ➤ About
➤ Product Information. Alternatively, enter borrowlicense on the product
command line. Help for this feature is available in the Borrow a License for [Autodesk
Product] window and in C:\Program Files\[Autodesk Product]\Help\adsk_brw.chm.
Set Up License Timeout
License timeout is set in the Options file to determine how long a product
session can be idle before the license is reclaimed by the license server. When
you set this flag in the Options file, a user's license is reclaimed by the license
server if the product is idle on a workstation for more than the timeout period
you define.
