Working from home with a network license

[papamac65]

How are we able to allow our designers to use MEP 2009 outside of the office using the FlexLM? Do they have to checkout or borrow a license? You used to be able to install a seat on a home computer with stand-alone or multi-seat stand-alone deployment. Is that still available?

You can borrow a license, yes. You can also make the NLM available to home users via VPN. But there is also a special stand-alone activation for network licensed users that Autodesk offers. You have to apply for this thru your reseller.

It's actually a neat feature. I'm a little surprised why almost no other
vendor offers this. It's another way of getting the word out and getting to
upsell more licenses.
