Borrowing a Concurrent License - MapInfo_Pro

Some concurrent licenses can be borrowed. Borrowed licenses enable you to use MapInfo Pro when your computer is not able to connect to your license server. For example, if you have MapInfo Pro installed on a laptop and you are going to be away from the office, you can borrow a license to use MapInfo Pro while you are away. Check with your license server administrator to find out if your concurrent license includes borrowing.

When you borrow a license, be sure to specify a borrow period that gives you sufficient time to use MapInfo Pro before the license expires. If the license expires before you have an opportunity to return it, the license is automatically returned to the license server. MapInfo Pro is unusable until you can connect to your network again and check out a license.

To borrow a license, the computer that you want to put the borrowed license on must have MapInfo Pro installed and be connected to the license server.

To borrow a license:

Open MapInfo Pro.
On the PRO menu, point to Licensing. Click Borrow a License to open the Borrow MapInfo Pro License dialog box.
Specify the number of days that you want to borrow the license. You can specify from the maximum borrow period that an administrator has set.
Click Borrow License.
After a few moments, an activation message opens to tell you that the license was borrowed from the server successfully.
Click OK.

You can use MapInfo Pro on this computer while not connected to your network for the borrow period that you specified.

Note: A License Server administrator can set the license borrow period from 1 to 365 days, with the default being 365 days. Once a limit is set in the License Server Utility, a MapInfo Pro installation may borrow the license for a maximum of that many days.
