Hi,
I have two computers that I'd like to be able to
move my idl license back and forth on (using only
computer at a time, but not necessarily connected
to each other).
Are there any users who currently do this? What was/is
your solution?
I've got a linux desktop (currently with IDL),
and a win2000 laptop (currently with no IDL).
I would use the laptop at home, and away from
the internet so I don't think that I could call in
to the license manager on my desktop and get a license.
In the past, I've used IDL on windows for years,
and have only recently moved to using IDL on linux.
IMHO, the IDE in windows is fantastic, and the IDE in
linux sucks the big one. (I know about IDLWAVE, but I haven't
got around to learning how to use it yet, i'm an emacs N00b).
So, i'd like to be able to move my current idl license (on linux)
to my laptop on occasion (mostly for development, and working from
home).
I thought a "HASP" license would be ideal (I use to have one of those
back at grad school), but RSI told me they are being phased out.
So anyways, if anyone has any good solutions for moving an idl license
from comp to comp I'd appreciate it. My request to our SA has died on
the news that there are no HASP licenses anymore.
thanks,
bob
