This article explains how to borrow and return a borrowed network license on a machine that will not remain directly connected to the SDL License Server. Commuter licensing allows users to borrow a license. Users usually require a commuter license when they want to travel and need to use the SDL product offline for a certain period of time. The network user borrows a license seat for the duration of the trip and checks it back in on returning. NOTE: You will not be able to borrow the last license seat available on the network license. This is because connecting to the server in order to borrow a license already requires a license seat. Borrowing is not possible without an available license seat. The seat required for the connection is returned back to the license pool immediately after the server grants the borrowed license. |
