example, for PRO/II 6.0, the "Token Checkout" icon is located
under \\SIMSCI\Proii60\Bin.

required by the user:

➤ Borrow token licenses from the token license server

➤ Early return borrowed token license

Section for Product List

The content of the list is determined by the products managed by
the FLEXlm server. The products that are available for borrowing
are included in this list.

The product list is in tabular format that contains Use, Product

Name and Token columns. The Use column is for user to select or
unselect product for borrowing and early return. The Product Name
column is the product names. The Token column displays the
required number of token for each product.

1-2 Using Token Checkout

 Use Column

➤ By default, there is no product is selected in this column. If user

already borrowed license in previous session then the borrowed
products will be displayed with a check mark.
➤ User can select multiple products from the list. The selected
items will be borrowed when user click on the OK button.
➤ There is a main and sub product dependencies managed in this
column. The product name that contains a leading "->" sign is
a sub-product. A sub-product cannot be borrowed by itself
because it requires main product to work properly. For exam-
ple, PRO/II Batch is a sub-product of PRO/II and user cannot
use PRO/II Batch feature without a PRO/II license.
➤ If a sub-product is selected then its main product is selected
automatically. On the other hand, a main feature cannot be
unselected unless all its sub-products are unselected.
Select/Reset All Check Box

You can use this check box to select or unselect all products from
the list.

Show Selected Only Check Box

You can use this check box to display only the selected products.

Returning Checkout Token

The default borrow expiration date is 7 days from the current date.

hours allowed by server.
