Determining the Effective Borrow Interval

The following bullet points help you determine the borrow interval that will apply to a feature:

•

If the feature borrow interval has been set in the back office, the effective borrow interval is the lowest of the following values:

•

feature borrow interval (set in the back office)

•

client borrow interval (set in a client capability request)

•

admin borrow interval (set using the configuration parameter licensing.borrowIntervalMax)

•

If the feature borrow interval has not been set in the back office, the effective borrow interval is the lowest of the following values:

•

server borrow interval (defined in producer-settings.xml by the property licensing.borrowInterval)

•

client borrow interval (set in a client capability request)

•

admin borrow interval (set using the configuration parameter licensing.borrowIntervalMax)

The following diagram illustrates the behavior:

Borrow interval precedence

The expiration date that is calculated through the borrow interval can never exceed the feature expiry date (including grace period, where applicable).
