Borrowing Floating Licenses on Local Client

If you must use the software remotely on a computer with no connection to the network and the Local License Server, you can "borrow" licenses from the Local License Server and "return" them after usage. This process is called "borrowing". The availability of borrowing depends on the software product that you are installing.

You can borrow and return licenses through the View licenses dialog box within the software package (refer to the "Managing Floating Licenses on Local Clients" chapter).
