Configuring license borrowing

License borrowing allows users of ArcGIS for Desktop, ArcGIS Engine Runtime, and Esri CityEngine to temporarily take concurrent use licenses from the license manager and install them locally on their machines to use when off the network.

1. Launch ArcGIS License Server Administrator from Start > Programs > ArcGIS > License Manager > License Server Administrator.
2. Choose Configure from the table of contents.
3. Check the Allow License Borrowing check box if unchecked.
4. Enter the maximum number of days for which licenses can be borrowed. Shorter borrowing timeouts are recommended.
5. Click Apply to apply changes and restart the service.

Note:

Borrowing licenses with ArcGIS Administrator does not apply to ArcGIS Pro software using named user entitlements. ArcGIS Pro software can be run offline if an administrator has configured the specified named user to have this permission. More information can be found in the ArcGIS Pro Help documentation.
