Return a license
Your network license is automatically returned to the network license server
on the day that the license expires. 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.
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.
To return a borrowed license early
1 Select Help > About Maya, then click Product License Information.
2 In the Product License Information window, click Return License, then
click Yes.

To check the license return date

2 In the Product License Information window, under License Expiration
Date, view the license return date.
