Return a Maya license and sub-feature licenses
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.
