Using Other Features of Network Licensing
License Borrowing
If you are using a network-licensed version of your Autodesk product and your
network administrator supports the license borrowing feature, you can borrow
a product license from your network license server to use the Autodesk product
for a specified time when your computer is not connected to the network.
Your license is automatically returned to the license server at the end of the
day on the return date you set when you borrow the license. You can also
return a license early. The maximum borrowing period is six months.
NOTE License borrowing does not apply to stand-alone licenses.
NOTE A limited number of licenses are available for borrowing. If you try to
borrow a license and are notified that no licenses are available, see your network
administrator for help.
