We buy node-locked licenses for our laptops, so that we can use them whether
they're on the network or not. Of course, that's a separate license for each
computer--they're not interchangeable. On the other hand, node-locked licenses
are somewhat cheaper than floating licenses. You can also convert some of your
current floating licenses to node-locked, but not vice-versa. Thus, once
you've converted them, you won't be able to convert them back again.

You could also convert a HASP license to node-locked. Aren't HASPs on their
way out?
