If you need to work offline and use Solibri Office or Solibri Site, you can borrow a floating license in advance for a set number of days. The maximum borrowing time is 14 days. To get a floating license from Solution Center, you need to have an internet connection. Borrowing licenses is only possible for NWL customers, not software subscription customers.
The floating license can be returned in the same location when a user is connected to the internet again. When the maximum borrowing time is over, the floating license will be returned automatically.
To borrow a floating license:
-
Open Solibri Office or Solibri Site.
-
Go to File, then Help.
-
Select Borrow License:
-
A dialog opens:
-
Select the number of days from the drop-down menu and click Borrow Now.
Important
If you lose internet connection for less than an hour, it should not be noticeable in any way. The licensing scheme includes contingency behavior to protect the users from short term connectivity outages. If you expect to have long-term outages, you can borrow a license.
