FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide 77
Returning the license early has the effect of clearing the LM_BORROW setting for the vendor
daemon that serves the returned license.
If the borrowing system is not placed back on the network before attempting the early return,
the license is not returned and LM_BORROW is kept intact. Additionally, an error message is
issued to the end user with notification that the system needs to be connected to the network.
