server if the product is idle on a computer for more than the timeout period
you define.
IMPORTANT License timeout is not supported by all Autodesk products.
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 use the TIMEOUT parameter to set individual license timeouts for
each Autodesk product on your computer, or use the TIMEOUTALL parameter
to set one license timeout for all Autodesk products on your computer.
To set license timeout parameters
■ For individual Autodesk products: In the options file, enter the following
syntax on its own line (TIMEOUT must be uppercase):
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 7200 seconds, or two
hours.
■ For all Autodesk products: In the options file, enter the following syntax
on its own line (TIMEOUTALL must be uppercase):
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 7200 seconds, or two hours.
For more information about using the license timeout feature, see the FLEXnet
document, License Administration Guide. On a Windows server, the default
install location for the document is C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Autodesk Network
License Manager folder. On a Mac OS X or Linux server, the document is
installed in the Network License Manager directory.
