Redundant servers and License borrowing Error The Borrowing Period established for the license server is not valid

Problem:

When you try to borrow a license from redundant license servers, you might the following error if the license servers are configured wrongly in the client.

The Borrowing Period established for the license server is not valid

Contact your system administrator to have the borrowing period reset to a value of at least one day (24 hours)

 

 

Solution:

Please make sure licpath.lic is configured to use redundant license servers and ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE environment variable is not created to point to the license server.

This solution shows you the behavior on the client

Hence if the ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE environment variable is defined it would override licpath.lic, resulting in the above error when connected to redundant license servers.
