MATLAB: Does INCLUDE_BORROW cause error -39 with specifed features

MATLAB

I am using FLEXnet v11.6.1.0 and when I use INCLUDE_BORROW in my license file, everyone who tries to use the feature in that INCLUDE_BORROW line gets and error -39. Why is this and is there a way to use INCLUDE_BORROW?

Best Answer

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.
