Fabrication CADmep 2017 cannot check out license for longer than a month

[jdlandry504]

I am having issues with being able to borrow a license for the maximum amount of time in Fabrication CADmep 2017.  Is there a fix to this issue?

Hi 

Check you're license file.  You should see a line that says BORROW='number' Autodesk usually issue the file with 4320, the number refers to the number of hours you can borrow it for.  The other thing to check if this is correct is that you don't have an options file setup on FlexLM that could also be limiting your borrow period.

Regards

If the license is subscription based and nothing was changed account wise in the past couple of years, why would this be any different then before?  I can install 2016 or 2015 versions of the software and check out licenses for much longer using the same exact license file.

We have figured out the issue and found that it wasnt allowing us to borrow past a certain date due to that date being the license renewal date.
