Force license to be returned

I was working with our company laptop over the weekend and had a license borrowed. This morning the laptop will not turn on at all and I was wondering if there is a way to "force" the license to be returned. I tried restarting the license server with LMTOOLS and I am not having any luck. We are using Autocad 2006. Thanks for your help

Did you try stopping the license server 'without' checking the Force Server Shutdown box? That sometimes will help release a license.

Hi,

been away for a while. Does this really work? I wouldn't of thought so... I mean what's to stop one from doing this deliberately in order to propagate more "borrowed" licenses?

Just wondering...

Honesty. There are always ways to circumvent the licensing system. However, why would any respectible establishment risk getting audited over something so petty?
