Your network license is automatically returned to the network license server on the day that the license expires. You can also return a license earlier than the date you originally selected, as long as your computer is connected to the network license server when you attempt to return the borrowed license.
Once a borrowed license is returned, you can borrow a license again as long as your computer is connected to the network license server and a license is available on the server.
To return a borrowed license early, do one of the following:
- Click Tools menu License Borrowing Return License Early.
- Click Help menu About Product Information. In the Product Information dialog box, click Return License, and then click Yes.
- In the status tray, right-click the License Borrowing icon. Click Return License Early.
Your license is returned to the network license server. After you return the borrowed license, you can borrow a license again immediately as long as a license for that product is available on the network.
