Help ➤ About and consult the Product License Information dialog box, or
in some products, place your cursor over the Borrowing icon in the status tray
(lower right corner of the screen).
When the borrowing period expires, the borrowed license is automatically
returned to the license server. When your computer is reconnected to the
network, you can run your Autodesk product from the network or borrow a
license again.
Interaction with Other License-Borrowing Tools
Using the license-borrowing feature in your Autodesk product is the
recommended way to borrow a license. Some third-party borrowing tools are
available, but these tools are not supported or compatible with the
license-borrowing feature in your Autodesk product. Other supported
license-borrowing tools are the Autodesk License-Borrowing utility (shipped
with Autodesk products) and the borrowing feature in LMTOOLS utility, a
component of the Autodesk Network License Manager on Windows servers.
If another license-borrowing tool is active when you attempt to use the
license-borrowing feature, proceed as follows to borrow a license for your
Autodesk product:
■ 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 your
Autodesk product. However, you cannot return a license until you exit
and then restart your Autodesk product.
■ On a Windows server, if borrowing is set in the LMTOOLS utility for all
products, either use the other tool to borrow licenses for your Autodesk
product, or stop the borrowing process in LMTOOLS utility, and then use
the license-borrowing feature in your Autodesk product.
■ If borrowing is set in LMTOOLS utility for non-Autodesk products only,
stop the borrowing process in the LMTOOLS utility. 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 utility, the
license-borrowing feature will not function.
