Network license on portable computer

[gsiadmin]

Our company has AutoCAD network licensing for several workstations, which means that a connection to the licensing server is required for the application to launch. The question is : one of those workstations is a portable computer and the user sometimes needs to use AutoCAD while outside of the network. Is there a way to work around this issue (portable license maybe??) ? Thank you.

Your laptop user can borrow a license.

Borrow licenses exist for this purpose.
