License Borrowing Copy link to clipboard

In case you’re using a Floating License without auto borrowing support, you may borrow your license for a few days, depending on the maximum borrow period specified in your license. The advantage of a borrowed Floating License is, that you will be able to work without a connection to the license server, e.g. at a site without an internet connection or on a plane. The second advantage is, that your license is blocked for you while it is borrowed and cannot be used by anyone else in the mean time, even if you don’t use your itemis SECURE at the moment. Thus, you cannot get blocked by unavailable licenses during that time. Your borrowed Floating License will expire automatically after the amount of days you borrowed it for. It’s also possible to return your borrowed Floating License at any time before that and make it available for others while you’re not using it.

You can borrow a Floating license in the itemis SECURE Settings File Settings… → Appearance & Behavior → itemis SECURE General → License Borrowing. The borrow time textfield suggests the maximum amount of days you can borrow your license as long as it’s empty. If you want to borrow your license for the full borrow period, you can just press the Borrow Floating License button, otherwise you may enter a number of days between 1 and the suggested maximum.

Be aware, that you need an established connection to your license server to successfully borrow your license and that it may take about a minute in case of errors.
While the license expires at the end of the expiration- or end-date, the License Borrowing isn’t available during the last day, specifically in the final 24 hours of the licensed period. This means, the borrowing period can extend up to but must not include these last 24 hours.

A borrowed Floating License may be returned by pressing the Return Borrowed Floating License button, in the same itemis SECURE Settings, where you borrowed your Floating license. In case of errors, you will keep the borrowed Floating license and can continue working with it until you return it successfully or it expires.
