1. FlexNet Operations (FNO) treats a license day as ending at 11:59:59 PM Pacific Time (PDT).
   • So, according to the license server, a “day” resets at that exact time in the PDT time zone.
2. On the client side (your machine), when you borrow a license “for a day,” the actual expiration is based on your computer’s local time zone, not PDT.
3. This means:
   • The license will stay checked out until the end of your current day (your local 11:59:59 PM).
   • The duration is calculated as the number of seconds from now until 11:59:59 PM in your time zone.

Example

If you are in Central Time (CT) and borrow a license at 3:00 PM CT:

• Your machine calculates: time remaining in the day = from 3:00 PM to 11:59:59 PM CT.
• So the license will stay checked out until 11:59:59 PM CT, not PDT.
• FNO internally uses PDT for feature expiration.
• But the client (FlexNet license borrower) uses local time when calculating the borrow end time.

Bottom line

The license server defines expiration in PDT, but when you borrow a license “for a day,” your PC uses your own time zone, so the license returns at the end of your local day.
