In the directory where you keep your "safe.lic" file, create a new text file named "safe.opt" that contains the following line:
BORROW_LOWWATER FME 1The number should be modified to reflect the minimum number of non-borrowed licenses that you'll allow. If the number is equal to or larger than the number of available licenses, borrowing is effectively disabled.
To set the maximum borrow duration, use the following setting:
MAX_BORROW_HOURS FME 72This will set the maximum borrow period to 3 days (72 hours).
You can even use both settings together if you put them on separate lines in safe.opt.
