Force an early return by Administrator |
|
|
Is there any way to force an early return of a borrowed license in AutoCAD 2005? I'd rather not set up a timeout to force it automatically. I just want the ability to return a license when someone's borrowed it for longer than necessary.

There is no way to perform an administrative early return. Users may return
licenses early if their workstations are connected to the network and can
communicate with the server the license was borrowed from. TIMEOUT by the
way does not interact with borrowing. MAX_BORROW_HOURS can be used to set
the maximum borrow period, consult the FLEXlm documentation for details.

You can do it from the FlexLM server if you need to have a license returned to your network. Granted, the computer that borrowed the license will have no way of knowing this until it expires.
Are you wanting your license back, or trying to limit the time a user can borrow one?

Travis, there is no administrative method to recall a borrowed license on
the server.

| Just because it isn't documented and/or you don't know how to do it, doesn't mean it can't be done. |

If you did do it, you'd be violating your license agreement -- which is
quite well documented.
There's no need to take a snippy tone with Jerry, who generously gives his
time here.

I will pass on your comment to the Network team but basically
what you posted was a supposed workaround of the network limits.
The "solution" was not within how the software is to be used.
