5 Launch Maya.
This borrows a Maya license from the server.
6 Use any sub-features of Maya (such as the Maya batch renderer) while
you are still connected to your license server. This automatically borrows
a license for that sub-feature.
After you have used the sub-feature(s) while connected to your license
server, you can then use the sub-features later when you are not
connected.
To borrow a Maya license (Mac OS X or Linux)
1 Open a shell (Linux) or Terminal (Mac OS X) window.
2 Execute the following command: lmutil lmborrow adskflex enddate
[ time ]
where enddate is the date you will return the license, formatted as
follows: dd-mmm-yyyy . The time argument is optional, but is specified
in 24-hour format ( hh:mm ).
For example: lmutil lmborrow adskflex 14-oct-2012 [14:00] borrows
a license until October 14, 2012 at 2:00 pm.

Stop borrowing a Maya license
Stopping license borrowing is different from returning a license. You can stop
borrowing licenses if you have already checked out all of the licenses you
want, but you still plan to use sub-features while you are connected to the
network server and do not want to borrow those licenses.
