Should You Allow License Borrowing?

License borrowing allows users in a network to effectively gain a software license for a limited time. The license is returned at the end of the time period, similar to how you'd check out and then return a library book. Borrowing is very helpful for people who might not use the software regularly, so they'd rather not drop hundreds on a full license. The question you, as a software engineering company, need to ask yourselves is if you're going to allow borrowing for the software you sell.
