I would even suggest to set timeout to the lowest value 15 minutes. Never
had problems with that. See the image on the link below for some real usage
experience of it.

You are right about the BORROW feature - it is for taking licenses offline
(i.e. travel) for a period of time.
I can't think of a way to release any of the 14 reserved licenses in an
elegant way.
One thing that might help you with the 5 shared licenses, is to implement
the TIMEOUT feature for them. I found that very helpful by setting a
timeout of 30 minutes which then allows that license to be used by someone
else if demanded otherwise it is still available to the timed out user. It
really cut down on my max license hits and I have never had a complaint from
a user - of course I am dealing with 18 shared licenses, so it cuts down the
odds that someone who is timed out would attempt to use AutoCAD and be told
that all licenses are in use.
