Hi John,
I haven't played with license borrowing since 2007, but I don't think much as changed. It's not the most sophisticated implementation (the SolidWorks is much better), so it's medium difficulty to deploy. I'd check out http://www.ptc.com/cs/cs_25/howto/ser10403/ser10403.htm. Some major notes:
1. You CANNOT return a license early, https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=125363
2. License borrowed can be extend more than 6 days, https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=/128654.htm
3. Borrow is locked to specific user login, https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=135500
4. Firewall exceptions. I ran my server on another Windows XP Pro SP2 system (not a server) and needed to make some exceptions for the borrow to work:
port 137 UDP (for name resolution)
port 7788 TCP (License Server)
.\flexlm\i486_nt\obj\PTC_D.exe
I'm not sure about the Intralink data, it's been awhile since I used it, but if there's an offline mode, you're probably okay.
Thanks,

In Reply to John Scranton:
All,
I need a quick lesson on license borrowing.
How easy is it to do?
How long is it good for, min and max?
What do I need when it comes to data that is in Intralink?
Anything else you can think of.
TIA
