In my workflow the laptop will almost ALWAYS be on a different network and this limitation makes IDL useless. Is this the case? Is there a work around?

Hi Bob,

We are actively working on a solution to a problem where changes to a
machine's MAC address prevents previously activated licenses from working.

For the newsgroup... One example of how the MAC address can change in a
laptop is when one uses a docking station's network card when activating
licenses, and then unplugs and starts using the WiFi card, which will
have a different MAC address than the docking station.

Cheers,
Doug
