Borrowing a License for Creo Parametric

License borrowing allows a Creo Parametric user with a floating license to temporarily use Creo while disconnected from the organization's license server. This can be useful when traveling, working remotely, or otherwise needing to use Creo without access to the company network.

The license must be borrowed before disconnecting from the license server.
