Interaction with Other License-Borrowing Tools
Using the license borrowing feature in the program is the recommended way
to borrow a license; however, some third-party borrowing tools may also be
available to you. These tools are not supported or compatible with the license
borrowing feature in the program. Other third-party or legacy
license-borrowing tools that may be available to you are the Autodesk License
Borrowing utility (shipped with Autodesk products) and the borrowing feature
in lmtools.exe, a component of the Autodesk Network License Manager.
If another license-borrowing tool is active when you attempt to use the license
borrowing feature, you should proceed as follows to borrow a license for the
program:
■ If you run the Autodesk License Borrowing utility that shipped with your
Autodesk product and then turn on the borrowing flag for the Adskflex
option or the All option, a license can be borrowed when you start the
program. However, you cannot return a license until you exit and then
restart the program.
■ If borrowing is set in lmtools.exe for all products, you can either (a) use the
other tool to borrow licenses for the program or (b) stop the borrowing
process in lmtools.exe and then use the license borrowing feature in the
program.
■ If borrowing is set in lmtools.exe for non-Autodesk products only, you must
stop the borrowing process in lmtools.exe. You can then use the license
borrowing feature to borrow licenses for your Autodesk product. If you do
not stop the borrowing process in lmtools.exe, the license borrowing feature
will not function.
