Do you have the same network adapter both when you are connected to the
network and when you disconnect?
I believe the borrowed license is tied to the network adapter in use at the
time you borrow it. If, for example, your laptop is in a docking station
with its own network adapter, the borrowed license may be bound to the dock,
causing your problem when undocked.
This is just a guess. How is your laptop different from the others?

Hello,
I have a problem that neither I nor my company's IT department can solve. My
company has a License Server for AutoCAD and I am using a Laptop. The
AutoCAD License Borrowing Utility allows me to borrow a license. When I
refresh the screen the Utility shows that I have borrowed a license. Then I
go open AutoCAD while still connected to the network and I receive a message
saying I have borrowed a license and it will expire on " ". My issue is when
I disconnect from the network and try to run AutoCAD I dialog box asking to
specify the location of the license file. I can not find a license file
anywhere on my computer after I borrow one. Does anyone know where the
"borrowed" license file is stored on the computer or is there something
different I can do to solve this issue? My computer is the only one that has
this issue, other Laptops within the company operate AutoCAD after borrowing
a license no problem. I am running Windows 2000 NT. Thank you
