To Set License Timeout in the Options File

You can set a timeout value for a single product, using the TIMEOUT command, or set the same value for all Autodesk products, using the TIMEOUTALL command.

If you want to set timeout value for an individual product, you will need the product feature code, as listed in the INCREMENT line of the license file. For example, 51200ACD_2013_0F, or 66800REVIT_F.

  1. In a text editor, open the options file, adskflex.opt.
  2. In the options file, enter one of the following commands on its own line (TIMEOUT must be uppercase):
    • TIMEOUT feature_code n

      where 'feature_code' is the name of the product in the license file, and 'n' is the number of seconds of inactivity before a license is reclaimed by the license server.

      For example, the syntax TIMEOUT 66800REVIT_F 7200 means that for the Revit product, the license timeout period is 7200 seconds, or two hours.

    • TIMEOUTALL n

      where 'n' is the number of seconds before an inactive license for any Autodesk product is reclaimed by the license server.

  3. Save and close the options file.
