Hopefully one of these will help you.

Hopefully you mean borrow - not sure what you mean by lending...

Hello, a thousand apologies

yes it would be borrow that, but I do not have server licenses and local, is there any way to do this? to do this can be any license?

Hi,

you can borrow floating licenses, only. Locked licenses cannot be borrowed.

Thank you, what procedure do I have to follow to borrow this license?

Hi,

my answer is NO. You must not change the contents of license file.

Once again ... please read installguide110.pdf, page 86.

You may also have the option of installing a Home_Use license for doing company work on a home computer or laptop without having the restriction of a time limit like a borrowed license.

The Borrow.bat in the Creo loadpoint is the only method for borrowing a license.

Set the borrow duration time with an environment variable LM_BORROW_DURATION = XX (where XX is the number of days, maximum is 29 for a perpetual license and 179 for a subscription license).

The license borrowed will 'lock' a license in your company license pool until it is returned or the borrow expires.
