Borrowing license is available only for Network licenses. This allows you to temporarily take the license from the Server and then you can disconnect your device from the LAN. 

Please note that after borrowing a license, the total number of licenses available to the Server will decrease by one, until the license is returned from the device.

We add borrowing options manually by request in our technical support.

How it works:
  • Run nanoCAD on the PC for which the license is being borrowed in order to get it from the License Server (there must be a connection to the License Server).
  • Call the BORROWLICENSE command on user
  • Select the period for which licenses are being borrowed (maximum period of 30 days)
Now you can disconnect your device, nanoCAD will work offline during the selected period. 

When the borrowing time is over, the license turns back to the License Server and the license becomes unavailable on user PC.

If it is necessary to return the license to the Server ahead of schedule:
  • Connect the device to the License Server
  • Run nanoCAD
  • Call the RETURNLICENSE command
