 - License server (lmgrd) TCP/IP communication port#: 28000
 - Borrowed license feature name: MA_drafting
 - Borrowed license feature PC hostname: NX-PC
 - Borrowed license feature User name: NX-User

1. Check borrowed license feature status with "lmutil" command in command prompt
     Flexlmlm_folder>lmutil lmstat -A -c 28000@lmServer

2. To return borrowed license feature

- Ref as license server log file (splm_ugslmd.log)
      14:30:23 (ugslmd) OUT: "MA_drafting" NX-User@NX-PC
      14:35:10 (ugslmd) REMOVING NX-User@NX-PC:NX-PC0.0 from MA_drafting by  
                      administrator request.
      14:35:10 (ugslmd) IN: "MA_drafting" NX-User@NX-PC  (USER_REMOVED)
