Check your documentation. The network administrator sets the maximum borrow
time in your license file on the server, in hours, I believe. Didn't
realize it was six months now! It used to be a week...

I’ve just requested a new license file today from Autodesk online registration and it shows borrow=720 which I believe is 720 hours or 30 days. Evidently Autodesk documentation is not in sync with their product. Maybe someone from Autodesk can explain why this conflict exists.

Some items in the license file can be edited by you; some cannot (check your
documentation in your product; the difference is shown by
uppercase/lowercase). You can edit many options, such as the timeout
interval, the maximum number of licenses that can be borrowed, etc. You may
well be able to edit this hour value.

FlexLM Documentation :
Changes the maximum period a license can be borrowed from that specified in
the license certificate for feature.
The new period must be less than that in the license certificate.
In the Lic file, the Borrow indicates a number in hours.
If you want use the opt file, you must indicates a period less than that in
the Lic file.

Thanks for calling this to our attention Ron. The limit is in fact 30 days.
I have alerted our marketing folks regarding the error in the WEB page.

Re: Borrowing more than 30 days? |

Hi all,
I try this day to change the value BORROW in my lic file.
When i reread the lic file, the lmtools respond "unsupported".
My first question is : Can Autodesk give me a Borrow time more than 720
hours?
I have a user that have a mission for 4 month.
After regarding my Lic file, i see that some product have 720 for the Borrow
period and other 760.
Now for my first question, my answer will be Yes.
My second question is : If i'm connect to my network or not connect, the
utility to borrow a license
give me a period of 30 days. how this utility gives this period? Is this a
limit in this exe?
My last question is for Ron : What are your experience since your first
post?

You should not change 720 within the license file. Leave it as it is.
If you want to restrict it you have to use adskflex.opt
You cannot increase borrowing to more than 30 days.

Autodesk have made this limitation. Don't know why and I'm not sure where
760 comes from but if you got the license file from Autodesk that way I
guess you should just leave it that way.

Franck,
I put in a support question to Autodesk about this issue and they told me that 30 days is the borrowing limit and that they will correct any information on their web site that says something different.
In today’s business world where companies are global, I'm surprised that Autodesk put this limit at 30 days. Our company is a very large engineering company with engineers and designers traveling abroad for 4 to 6 months or even a year then return to home base. We would have to take network licenses and turn them into standalone licenses.
Even Bentley will let you borrow up to 90 days for MicroStation. I thought Autodesk was the leader in the CAD industry. Well if they are the leader, they should be more business friendly and accommodating.

Just a couple of things to keep in mind.
If your traveling users have VPN or similar, remote access to your network
then they can reborrow in the field. This operation does not require much
bandwidth so even a RAS dial-in connection should be fine for this.
Next, longer borrow periods introduce more risk. If a license does not get
returned for any reason, you are without that seat until the borrow period
expires.

Dear Jerry
Most of companies using netwrok license AutoCAD have the autoCAD more than 1
copy.
And most of companies have its firewall or proxy thus a personnel who in
business trip cannot
contact with license server located in the company...

You can control license borrowing using the options file. There are several
parameters you can choose from to control borrowing. I suggest you review
the FLEXlm documentation which was installed under your license manager
folder on your license server.
Restarting the license manager does not give your borrowed licenses back by
design. If it did allow that it would place you in a position of license
agreement violation. There are two authorized ways for you to get your
licenses back. Either wait for the expire period to occur or get your users
to connect to the network and return their licenses early.
