Is there any way to grab and hold a license in Skill code?

Suppose I need to run a serial of commands without waiting(for UI
reason), is there a way for me to reserve those licenses needed in
advance?

cheers,

Who can I transfer the grabbed license to other programs(line command)
such like calibre?

 

sorry, the question should be "How can I transfer the grabbed license to
other programs(line command) such like calibre?"

 

Sorry the question should be "Can you ask a question that makes sense?"

If you're asking how to reserve licenses, there's a mechanism for doing that
using options files in the license file (on the DAEMON line) - but that's
more for permanent reserving of licenses to particular groups or users.

(it's covered in the licensing documentation).

Supposing I am creating a SKILL script to do a Calibre related task. It
needs to call some preprocessing and then call calibre. The usually
situation I find is that after preprocessing finishes, calibre license
is not available. So what I need to do is to grab and hold the calibre
license when the script starts, then late somehow transfer it to calibre
program to run.

 

The only way you'll be able to do this is if Mentor provide some means of
checking out a Calibre license, or reserving a license. If they do, you could
invoke the command needed to do that via an ipcBeginProcess function, but
I somehow doubt that there will be a way of doing this...
