To decrease the maximum borrow time of an activation:

 to open the Options file,
flexsvr.opt

    RS500.exe
     as the activation feature name for the
    RSLogix 500
     product:
    MAX_BORROW_HOURS
    RS500.exe  24
    where:
    MAX_BORROW_HOURS—
    is the option to set the maximum number of hours to borrow activations.
    RS500.exe—
    is the activation feature name for the
    RSLogix 500®
    product, for example. See the increment line in the activation file to determine the correct feature name for your product.
    24—
    is the maximum number of hours.
  2. Save the file with the name
    flexsvr.opt
     in the default folder.
  3. Restart the activation service to enable the new options.
    NOTE:
    The factory-set maximum borrow time is also in the activation file
    BORROW=
     statement. If the activation file does not contain a
    BORROW=
     statement, the product does not support borrowing.
