Question

I am trying to check out a license from my LAN Zoo floating license manager using Rhino's CheckOutLicense command. I keep getting the following error:

License check out not enabled on this Zoo server. Please contact your system administrator for assistance.

Answer

In order to check out a license from a LAN Zoo server, the license checkout feature must be enabled. By default, it is disabled. Applies to LAN Zoo 6, 7, & 8.

Note: 30-user Lab licenses are restricted to a 30 day check out maximum.
