Will toolboxes release their license if inactive

Will matlab or toolboxes release their licenses after some period of inactivity. I know that Flex has some configurations for this, but does mathworks tools support this function?

The feature is called TIMEOUT, but is only implemented for MATLAB, not toolboxes.

I actually like this, as I would be not happy to come back from a break and being unable to work with the whole toolchain I need... In case you do this for saving money, call your MathWorks account manager (==Sales), maybe the license you have is not the right match for your needs.

yes timeout is the feature that I was thinking of. you believe it is working on matlab but not the toolboxes. If it works on Matlab when you come back would it not go back and get another copy of the license. There could be an issue if there are no more licenses to checkout.

Looking more closely at http://www.mathworks.com/help/install/license/using-time-outs-to-free-idle-license-keys.html if you get a MATLAB timeout then all of the toolbox licenses time out with it. What is not there is a way to time out the toolbox license according to when they were last used; the timeout applies only to the entire MATLAB session.
