Howdy!
Some licensing questions. I've sent them to RSI also, just testing if this
is faster :-)
Is it possible to assign a floating license to a machine that is not always
attached to the network? Several of our users have notebooks and would
appreciate being able to use IDL at home/on travels
We also have a few HASP licenses, and these can normally be used for "out of
office"-purpose. Is it possible to switch between HASP/floating licenses in
a smooth way? This would "free up" the HASP licenses to be distributed to
the ones currently out of office.
We are planning to buy som new lightweight notebooks. Unfortunately, these
have no printer port, only USB and serial, how can we solve the
out-of-office licensing problem on these computers?
best regards
Jonas

You can keep using the old computer. You'll only have IDL in demo mode on it though. :o)
As to transferring the license but keeping the old license key on the other machine, well.....
why would you do that? It's just not cricket.

p.s. FWIW, whenever I've worked at universities where researchers purchase their own licenses
(not through a software purchasing dept. that doles out the license keys or installation IDs),
there were semi-regular, uh, "sweeps" of computers to make sure that everything installed on
them was kosher.
