How do I specify the exact time a borrowed license key will be returned?

You can specify the exact time a license key is returned using the command.

lmutil lmborrow MLM dd-mmm-yyyy [hh:mm]

1. Exit MATLAB, if you have it running. If you initiate license borrowing while MATLAB is running, you must restart MATLAB before you can borrow licenses.

2. Open a DOS command window. One way to do this is to select the Run option from the Start menu, type cmd in the text entry field, and then click OK.

3. Navigate to the $MATLAB\bin\win64 folder, where $MATLAB represents the name of your MATLAB installation.

4. Run the lmutil command, specifying the lmborrow utility as an argument, as follows. (On Windows systems, FLEXnet packages all its license management utilities into one program, lmutil.)

lmutil lmborrow MLM dd-mmm-yyyy [hh:mm]

dd-mmm-yyyy [hh:mm] Specifies the end of the borrow period. Use three-letter abbreviations of the English month names, such as sep or oct. You can optionally specify the time [hh:mm] when the borrow period ends. If you do not specify the time, the borrow period lasts until midnight on the specified date.

Note: These instructions assume your system administrator copied the LMTOOLS executable file (lmtools.exe) into the $MATLAB\bin\win64 folder on your system. The MathWorks Installer does not install LMTOOLS on client systems.

1. Log in to your system and navigate to the $MATLAB\bin\win64 folder, where $MATLAB represents the name of your MATLAB installation.

2. Start LMTOOLS by double-clicking the lmtools.exe file.

3. Select the Borrowing tab in the LMTOOLS dialog box.

4. Fill in the Return Date and Return Time fields and click the Set Borrow Expiration button. You specify the date in dd-mmm-yyyy format and optionally the return time hh:mm. Use the three-letter abbreviations of the English month names, such as sep or oct.
