Summary

This article helps to resolve the issue - After borrowing a License it does not work as expected.

Symptoms

After borrowing a license for some period of time, if a user wishes to return earlier than expected there is a facility to return the borrowed license early to the server. On some occasions, after borrowing a license the functionality to return a license does not work correctly and often returns a -5 error message(See below).

Cause

Receives an error message:

No such feature exists.
Feature: netronda
License path: @WINENTERPRISE
FLEXnet Licensing error:-5,412
For further information, refer to the FLEXnet Licensing documentation,
available at " www.acresso.com.

Resolution

The error message may be caused by the vendor daemon not being configured to allow early return. This can be checked in the lsvendor.c file in the 'machind' directory. Look for 'ls_borrow_return_early = 0' and chance it to 'ls_borrow_return_early = 1' - this will allow the end user to return the borrowed license early.
