Borrowing permits for offline use
To run an i2® application when not connected to the corporate network, a user can borrow a permit from a server. A permit can be borrowed by a user for a minimum of a day, up to a maximum of five years. The permit is copied to the client and used during startup, and the i2 application does not request a permit from a server. The permit is not available to other users until it expires or is returned to the server.
