FLEXlm version 9.2 introduced the feature of borrowing licenses. The purpose of this action is to allow user to temporarily take license from the server to another workstation. After that period the license will only be used on the network.
The length of the time that a license can be borrowed is determined by the software vendor. You can check if you can borrow licenses by checking the license file. Each FEATURE line that has a BORROW=X on it indicates that this license key can be borrowed for a maximum of X hours. If you do not see BORROW=X as part of the FEATURE line, that license key cannot be borrowed. By default, the maximum number of hours is set to 4380 (6 months) when Tripos generates the license file.
OpenLM support the borrow feature of FLEXlm.
