ACTIVATION_EXPIRY_DAYS

This option limits the length of time a specific entitlement can borrowed and overrides the default borrow time applied to all licenses upon a License Manager. The option is useful when a borrow timeout restriction to a particular entitlement is required, that does not to apply all entitlements.

Usage

ACTIVATION_EXPIRY_DAYS entitlementID {days}

Term	Description
entitlementID	The entitlement ID used when requesting a license activation (borrow)
days	the number of days to allow the borrow for, expressed as an integer

Example:

To restrict the amount of days a client borrows an ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension license, that has an authorization number (entitlementID) of EFL123456789 to a maximum of 5 days, this is the option line:

ACTIVATION_EXPIRY_DAYS EFL123456789-1010 5

Note:

The above example is applicable only for license versions 10.1 or newer. For ArcGIS 10.0 License Manager or in any scenario where 10.0 licenses remain on a 10.1 or newer License Manager (for example you did not upgrade your 10.0 licenses to 10.1-10.4 or have authorized version 10.0 licenses on your 10.4.1 License Manager), you should omit "-1010" from the example.

Restrictions

If more than one ACTIVATION_EXPIRY_DAYS option for the same entitlementID exists, with a different count of days, is mentioned in the options file, then the functionality always considers first line and ignores subsequent lines.

The ArcGIS Administrator is designed to accept the maximum borrow days specified in the License Server Administrator (default 30 days). The user must adjust the ArcGIS Administrator borrow request for a given feature to that specified in the Options file.
