Check Out & Check In

If a license is needed away from the network (for example, business trips), you can reserve and Check Out a license for an extended period of time, also referred to as "borrow". The maximum number of days allowed for borrowing a license is 60 days. To check-out a licenses:

1. Connect the PC to the network. Ensure you have access to the license server.
2. Open the dialog License Management.
3. Click the tab Floating License, or FlexNet License.
4. Click Check Out... and specify for how long to check-out a license.

A checked-out license is removed from the license server at all times during the checkout period and is not available to any other user and becomes node-locked to the PC.

A checked-out license can be returned to the license server at any time using Check In. You need to be connected to a network with access to the license server at this time. The license is freed immediately.

In addition, FlexNet licenses have:

• a linger time of 60 seconds while compiling.
• full borrowing time while debugging.
