Send license to person in the field

We use a license server and lic borrowing when disconnected. We have people that work in the field for a couple months and then they are in the office for the rest of the year. We have run into the situation quite frequently where their stay in the field is extended and their license expires. We need to email them an extension, a token, a dat, an exe.... whatever that doesn't force them to reconnect to the network. Can this be done? If not, why not? - Ted Schaefer WD Partners

Why not give them stand-alone installs? For that kind of period, it just makes sense. -- James Wedding, P.E. IT Manager Jones & Boyd, Inc. Dallas, TX XP/1 on P4-3.4/1G LDT2004&5+C3D http://au.autodesk.com Sign up now for AU2004!

You can't borrow a network license for a couple of months. The standalone license is perfect for situations like this when you can't connect to the network (hence its name).

What is the procedure of converting a network license to standalone and back again? Is this something easy to do from the subscription page on a moment's notice? I suppose we have to change lic files each time when the user goes in and out of the office. Does the user have to register on-line, then de-register when they are back in the office and connect to the lic server? - Ted CAD Specialist, WD Partners 614-232-0165 Direct, x182 "Cy Shuster" wrote in message news:4111beee_1@newsprd01... > You can't borrow a network license for a couple of months.

If it's the same user on the same machine that's making the trip, why do they need to return the license? They can use the stand alone license in the office just as easily as in the field. Unfortunately, no, it's not that easy. Install network licensing for the people that say in one location or go out for short field visits. Install stand-alone seats for people that deploy for extended periods. Your reseller is SUPPOSED to understand this, and can give you pricing to match your situation. If they don't, get a new reseller. -- James Wedding, P.E. IT Manager Jones & Boyd, Inc. Dallas, TX XP/1 on P4-3.4/1G LDT2004&5+C3D http://au.autodesk.com Sign up now for AU2004!
