If a user's license is lost because of the idle timeout, the product attempts to
claim a new license once the user uses the product again. If no license is
available, the user can save work before the product shuts down.
You can set individual license timeouts for each Autodesk product on your
computer by using the TIMEOUT parameter or you can set one license timeout
for all Autodesk products on your computer by using the TIMEOUTALL
parameter.
To set license timeout parameters
■ For individual Autodesk products: In the Options file, enter the following
syntax on its own line (with TIMEOUT entered in uppercase, as shown):
TIMEOUT feature_code n
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.
