- In the ArcGIS Program Group, find and launch the ArcGIS Administrator application (be sure no ArcGIS components are currently running).
- In ArcGIS Administrator, select the desired product folder (Desktop or Engine) in the table of contents for which you want to borrow licenses.
- Make sure the license manager has been defined.
- Select the Borrow/Return folder.
- Check the boxes of the features you want to borrow (typically all of them) and click Apply.
- After the licenses have been borrowed, click OK to close the ArcGIS Administrator.
You can now use your ArcGIS software while off the network.
