Esri REALLY needs to implement configurable license borrowing for ArcGIS Pro Named User licenses.
Currently:
For an organization with 10,000+ potential ArcGIS Desktop (ArcMap and/or Pro) users, locking/losing ArcGIS Pro Named User licenses is not an uncommon occurrence. Casual GIS user: Wait? I was supposed to return my offline license before re-imaging my computer? Since Pro Named User licenses in Portal come with access and licensing issues, ArcGIS Online is a tempting alternative except for the huge hassle it is releasing those licenses through Esri Support.
ArcGIS Pro Named User license borrowing would provide another tool in the toolbox for large organizations to manage licenses. Allowing both the administrator to restrict and user to set a borrowing duration would cut down on the number of named user licenses that have to be released.
