Specifications

For example, you can borrow a Maya license and a Maya batch renderer license,
then stop borrowing so that when you use the batch renderer (and
automatically use a subfeature license for the Maya batch renderer), you do
not borrow the batch renderer license from the server. In this situation, after
you stop borrowing, your Maya and batch render licenses are still borrowed
until the return date that you set, but the batch render license you used stays
on the server.
To stop borrowing a Maya license (Windows)
1 Open the LMTOOLS utility by selecting Start > Programs > Autodesk
> Common Utilities > FlexLM License Utilities.
2 In the LMTOOLS utility, switch to the Borrowing tab.
3 Click Don’t Borrow Anymore Today.
To stop borrowing 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 -clear
Return a Maya license and sub-feature licenses
Your network license is automatically returned to the network license server
at the end of the return date you set when you borrowed the license. 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.
Returning a license means that you are returning a license to the network
server so that someone else can use or borrow it. 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.
If you use the Maya batch render feature while you have a Maya license
borrowed from your license server, you have automatically borrowed a
sub-feature license. The following steps include information on properly
returning the licenses for those sub-features. The following table lists the
feature codes that you will need if you use these sub-features.
