The Network license can be borrowed from
any location (you can borrow it from the license server to your laptop). Just please note, that the
License Server is by default using
port 16720 so this should be accessible on the laptop (ideally by using secured VPN connection, but it's not necessary).
On your laptop, please set the network license to the
IP of the server /
server name rather than finding it automatically. This can be done using the "
Change License Mode" wizard after setting Network license mode in
Configure the Network License window.
If you'll be unable to borrow the license to your laptop, please check if it's a communication issue by using a TCP scanning tool (as
nmap) to test the server port from the laptop in this way:
nmap -p 16720 <your-server-address>It should return the following result:
PORT STATE SERVICE
16720/tcp open unknownIf needed, you can also enable the
debug mode on the server, try to use the plug-in and send us the licserver.log.
The right network configuration is always very specific for any network as the correct set-up of the connection will depend on all firewall / anti-virus solutions used. Basically, you'll need to open the port 16720 on license sever for the remote user. It must be open both for TCP and UPD (for example Windows Firewall / anti-virus software could be blocking the connection for this port).
