Disable Borrowlicense command

[VDJEUGT]

Hi,
Is there a way to disable the Borrowlicense command. I want to prevent desktop users to borrow a license (only for portable pc's)

Thanks (and a happy new year!)

One way is to undefine the command. Not sure if it really works as expected
if you borrow from the About AutoCAD dialog box.
Example: (command "undefine" "borrowlicense")

Another way that probably is easier to maintain is using either of the
keywords EXCLUDE_BORROW (Prevents a user or predefined group of users from
borrowing a license) or INCLUDE_BORROW (Allows a user or predefined group of
users to borrow a license) in the FLEXnet licence server options file
(.OPT).

Hi Jimmy,
Thanks for the reply. I should have read the manual first 😉
I think the FlexLM options file is the best approach. Undefining the command doesn't prevent license borrowing via Help About dialog box

There used to be a "high watermark" option that would limit the total number
of borrowed licenses, leaving some for local use.
