Decrease the maximum borrow time of an activation

Use the following procedure to decrease the maximum borrow time of a borrowed activation.

To decrease the maximum borrow time of an activation:

1. Click the Advanced tab, and click File Access.
2. Click Edit Options File to open the Options file, flexsvr.opt in a text editor. If the file does not exist, you will be prompted to create a new one.
3. Edit the Options file using the following as an example, which uses RS500.exe as the activation feature name for the RSLogix 500 product:

   MAX_BORROW_HOURS  RS500.exe  24

   where:

   MAX_BORROW_HOURS— is the option to set the maximum number of hours to borrow activations.

   RS500.exe— is the activation feature name for the RSLogix 500® product, for example. See the increment line in the activation file to determine the correct feature name for your product.

   24— is the maximum number of hours.

4. Save the file with the name flexsvr.opt in the default folder.
5. Restart the activation service to enable the new options.

   Tip:	The factory-set maximum borrow time is also in the activation file BORROW= statement. If the activation file does not contain a BORROW= statement, the product does not support borrowing.
