License Check Out/In dialog box

Used to check out application and program licenses that are under concurrent license control of the SELECTserver License Manager to systems that are not continually connected to a network with access to SELECTserver, such as workstations, laptops, and portables. This enables users dependent of the SELECTserver License Manager (LM) concurrent licensing feature to use LM-managed application licenses on remote systems for extended periods of time.

(This dialog box opens when License Check Out/In is chosen from the Utilities menu.)

License Check Out/In dialog box

The remotely-used application can reside on the remote system continually, even when its license is not active. The only physical requirement for use is that the remote system is connected to a network with access to SELECTserver during the time that the license is being requested and transferred from the License Check utility.

Once the license is checked out, the system can be disconnected from the network, and the application for which the license was checked out can be operated at anytime during the valid check-out period. After the check-out period has expired, the application will no longer operate until a new license for that application is checked out. If the application is no longer needed, either temporarily or permanently, the license can be checked in, making it available to other users who can use the license either within the network or remotely. Once the license checkout period expires, the License Check utility automatically “checks in” the license and makes it available to other users.
