Using Time-Outs to Return Idle License Keys

Note    You can only use time-outs with concurrent licenses.

If you have a concurrent license, you can use the FLEXlm time-out option to automatically return idle license keys at your site. With license time-outs, the license manager automatically frees license keys that sit idle for a specified period of time, returning them to the pool of available license keys.

For example, when you start MATLAB and other products, such as toolboxes, you check out license keys for these products. If you go home without exiting your MATLAB session, these licenses remain checked out and are not available to other users. With time-out enabled, after your licenses sit idle for a specified period of time, the license manager releases the license keys for all the products you had been using and these keys become available to other users.
