Borrowing restrictions
By default users can borrow network licenses, allowing them to work for a period of up to 7 days without being connected to the license server. Borrowing is cases useful in situations like taking a laptop home to work, or when traveling off-site. Workbench users can select the license(s) they wish to borrow from within the Workbench License Manager, and select the duration to borrow the license for. The durations offered are between 1 hour and 7 days.
