Return a license
You can return a license to the server at any time before it expires. This will make the license available for another client computer.
To return licenses:
1. Select all applications in the Terra License Manager window for which you want to return the license.
2. Select Return to server command from License pulldown menu.
This sends a return message to the server. A license disappears from the client computer if the server confirms receiving the license.
There is no other way of returning a license than with the License Manager. Otherwise, a license becomes only available again if the its validity ends on the client computer. Therefore, it is recommended to request a license only for a reasonable short period of time. This avoids that licenses are blocked by a client computer that runs into problems, breaks or becomes otherwise unusable.
The licenses can be returned programmatically using the license manager command line interface. This enables building automation with the licenses.
