Overview
There are two reasons for checking out a license.
1. You are a Non-SELECT user and License Check-Out is required in order to activate.
Check out interval for a Non-SELECT user is defaulted to 365 days
2. You are a SELECT user with limited or no internet/network connection.
Check out Interval for SELECT users can be changed to any interval less than 365 days, see: SelectServer OnLine: Maximum Checkout Interval default value changed to 2 days
From the client computer, you can manage the license check in and out from the License Management Tool.
