Setting the LM_BORROW Environment Variable Directly
The lmborrow utility is a user interface to set LM_BORROW in either the registry (Windows) or in $HOME/.flexlmborrow (UNIX). LM_BORROW can also be set directly as an environment variable:
today:{vendor|all}:enddate[:time]
where:
|
Argument |
Description |
|
today |
Today’s date in dd-mmm-yyyy format. Any checkouts done on this date create local borrow information. If a checkout is done on a different date than this date, no local borrowing information is created. |
|
vendor |
Vendor daemon that serves the licenses to be borrowed, or all specifies all vendor daemons in the license server. |
|
enddate |
Date the license is to be returned in dd-mmm-yyyy format. |
|
time |
Optional. time is specified in 24-hour format (hh:mm) in the FlexEnabled application’s local time. If time is unspecified, the checkout lasts until the end of the given end date. |
For example:
LM_BORROW=15-aug-2017:sampled:20-aug-2017:13:00
In this example, one or more licenses served by the sampled vendor daemon are borrowed on August 15, 2017, and are scheduled to be returned at 1 P.M. on August 20, 2017.
