MATLAB: Does the borrowing GUI not work properly if I have an INCLUDE line for a product

MATLAB

I am using the new borrowing GUI with my license file and options file with INCLUDE lines, however, I get a message "not authorized" when attempting to borrow any products with an INCLUDE line.

Best Answer

If a product is specified for a user, group, or any other grouping with an INCLUDE line, it cannot be borrowed unless a corresponding INCLUDE_BORROW line is added. For example, if the options file has the following line:

INCLUDE MATLAB USER ggrey

This product will not be borrowable unless the following line is added:

INCLUDE_BORROW MATLAB USER ggrey

MATLAB: Does INCLUDE_BORROW cause error -39 with specifed features

This is bug with FLEXnet version 11.6.1 and higher.

As a workaround add an INCLUDE line to the options file for any feature using INCLUDE_BORROW for.

For example:

INCLUDE MATLAB HOST *.*.*.* 
INCLUDE_BORROW MATLAB USER paul

This has the effect of allowing everybody (denoted by an IP address containing wildcards) the ability of checking out a license normally but only allowing 'paul' to borrow a license.

MATLAB: Is license borrowing supported for Network Named User licenses

For borrowing to work for Network Named User licenses, you must be running the network license manager shipped with MATLAB R2009b or a newer version of MATLAB (FlexNet 11.6.1 or higher).

Also, please review the other limitations and configuration steps:

- The standard issues with Concurrent Borrowing apply to Network Named User borrowing as well (see license administration guide section on borrowing):

- You need to add INCLUDE_BORROW lines to the options file for the borrowing GUI to work:

If you are running a new enough license manager version and are comfortable with the limitations described above, please contact the installation and licensing support team to enable Network Named User Borrowing on the license:
