Such a wobbling between local and remote connection is very usual for any scientist working both on and off his lab. So far a workaround was to declare the licensed machine as a license server on itself. But the trick was not possible (afaik) in case of a personal license.

Hi Alain,
I'm not sure if this is fixed or not. The new licensing scheme is completely different, and it's no longer tied to the "display". So it's possible that the problem is gone. I think you would just need to try it out and see what happens. If you do, please let the newsgroup know the results.
Thanks,
Chris
