Checking out a license for offline use

If you anticipate a need to use Sage Estimating when your computer cannot communicate with the license server, you can check out a license use from the Sage license server while you are still connected.

Important! Checking out a product license removes it from the license server's pool of generally available license uses and places it directly on the computer checking out the license. Because checking out a license may prevent other user access to Sage Estimating, you should check out a license only when necessary.

To check out a license:

  1. From the Sage Estimating main window, on the File menu, click Check Out License .
  2. Click Yes.

    Note: If you check out a license use, it remains checked out on this computer until you check in the license using Check In License Use from the File menu.

To check in a license:

  1. From the Sage Estimating main window, on the File menu, click Check In License .
  2. Click Yes.
