Borrow

Use the
borrow
command to borrow an activation.
These options are required:
  • '-fn, --featurename'
  • '-fv, --featureversion'
  • '-sb, --sourcebinding'
  • '-db, --destinationbinding'
  • '-bt, --borrowterm'
NOTE:
Multiple options can be used so long as an equal number of other required options are also entered. For example, two -fn options can be entered so long as two -fv, -sb, -db, and -bt options are also entered.
The multiple options are order dependent. The first -fn value is used with the first -fv, -sb, -db, and -bt values. The second -fn value is used with the second -fv, -sb, -db, and -bt values, and so on.
