License Borrowing

Hi,

 

I have figured out how to borrow a license and to set it in my system valiable. I have a few questions:

 

1. How do I return a license before its due date?

 

2. If I do not return the license before it's due date and check out a licence for more time, for example.....will the first one I borrowed still remain borrowed for the time left? I guess what I'm saying is.....do I have to return the license back before borrowing another? I don't want to monopolize the licenses.

 

Thanks,

 

Wayne

Hi,

you can return the license using batch file containing something like this:

@echo off
set PATH="C:\PTC\Creo7_020\Creo 7.0.2.0\Common Files\x86e_win64\obj";%PATH%
lmutil lmborrow -return -c 7788@lic01 -vendor ptc_d PROE_DesignAdv
pause

Are you sure PROE_DesignAdv is the name of the license you borrowed?

I assume you changed the "lic01", and PATH addition to reflect your particular installation, yes?
