License borrowing


Borrowing a license allows you to use ERDAS products while disconnected from the UNIL network. When coming back to the UNIL network, you can return the license so that it becomes available again to other users. A license cannot be borrowed for more than 40 days. After that time, it will be automatically returned and you will need to borrow it again if you want to continue to use ERDAS products while disconnected. You must be connected to the UNIL network to borrow or return a license, i.e. you must either be on the UNIL campus or connected through Crypto.

Borrowing a license

  1. Go to your Start menu/All Programs/Intergraph Licensing, and click on Intergraph License Borrowing
  2. On the lefthand panel, check the product you want to borrow (e.g. IMAGINE Essential and Add-Ons)
  3. Enter the number of days you plan to be away from the UNIL network (maximum, 40 days). Please refrain to borrow it for longer than actually needed as it blocks a license and the license server for the whole period.
  4. Click on the "Borrow" button, and wait for the synchronisation to be completed.
  5. If everything went well, there should be a green check-mark (instead of a green circle) next to each product you have borrowed.

Returning a borrowed license

Should you come back earlier than planned, you can return the borrowed license to make it available to other users. You must be connected to the UNIL network to do so.
  1. Go to your Start menu/All Programs/Intergraph Licensing, and click on Intergraph License Borrowing
  2. On the lefthand panel, check the product you want to return among those bearing a green check-mark.
  3. Click on the "Return" button, and wait for the synchronisation to be completed.
  4. If everything went well, there should be a green circle (instead of a green check-mark) next to each product you have returned.
