You can now check-out a managed license for offline use. The typical scenario is that you plan to travel with your laptop and expect to have no internet connection for a while. In this situation you can use the menu command “?/Check out managed license for offline use” while you still have a connection to the internet. You have to specify the number of hours for which you will be offline. During this time you can work without connection to the license server.

The license server blocks your license for the indicated offline time for other users. If your license is one license of a pool shared by several users act responsibly and declare reasonable offline periods only.

If your offline time is over earlier than expected you can use the menu command “?/Un-do managed license check-out” to tell the server that you are online again. Your license will then be available for other users if you do not use if for some minutes.
