license files

How do you set up license borrowing in 2004 network edition?
Is there something the user has to type in to borrow a license?

Mike,

The Network Administrators Guide "NAG" on the CD Browser provides the
instructions on settings this up.

Well I hate to say but NAG is not that helpful. Tells you the basics of
making sure it is an option when setting up the network install. But I could
not find any where in how a user would check out the license. I am reading
stuff in autocad help about an options file. Is this something that is
needed. Shouldn't I just be able to set up the time borrow time in FLEXLM
and have my user just hit a button to chekc out the license?

Mike,

The options file is indeed needed. Have a read of C:\Program Files\AutoCAD
2004\Help\adsk_nlg.chm . look for the subject "Set Up and Use an Options
File" and it discusses the Options file and borrowing.

Cheers,
-Shaan
