Set Up License Timeout
License timeout is set in the options file to determine how long a product
session can be idle before the license is reclaimed by the license server. When
you set this flag in the options file, a user's license is reclaimed by the license
server if the product is idle on a computer for more than the timeout period
you define.
IMPORTANT
License timeout is not supported by all Autodesk products.
If a user's license is lost because of the idle timeout, the product attempts to
claim a new license once the user uses the product again. If no license is
available, the user can save work before the product shuts down.
You can use the TIMEOUT parameter to set individual license timeouts for
each Autodesk product on your computer, or use the TIMEOUTALL parameter
to set one license timeout for all Autodesk products on your computer.
To set license timeout parameters
For individual Autodesk products: In the options file, enter the following
syntax on its own line (TIMEOUT must be uppercase):
TIMEOUT feature_code n
In the TIMEOUT syntax,
“
feature_code
”
is the name of the product (referred
to in the
INCREMENT
line in the license file), and
“
n
”
is the number of
seconds before an inactive license is reclaimed by the license server.
