The document discusses using an options file in the SOLIDWORKS Network License Manager to set timeout settings for inactive systems. It outlines 6 steps to activate a product license, enable the options file, and create a new options file if one does not already exist. The options file uses plain text with a .opt extension to allow for advanced configurations like setting timeout settings for inactive systems.
