Autodesk 2015 License borrowing and returning

Hi

 

Is it possible to return borrowed license without connecting to license server when borrow time ends? If one borrows license, borrow time ends and license returns back to the license server. Does this return work if there is no network connection to license server?

 

Documentation is somehow confusing. It says that borrow time should not be long, because for example laptop could be broken and that's why license cannot be returned. In the other way documentation claims that borrowed license just automatically returns when borrow time ends. 

 

Thanks in advance

"Automatically returned" is being too literal - in the case of the borrow time expiring there is no direct communication.  There is a timer on both the computer and server side, and the timer on both just expires and the server releases the license for use while the computer won't let the software run.  If you wish to return early then there *does* need to be communication with the server as you are actively telling both of them to reset the timer.
