Is it possible to borrow a network license from the office to use on a personal PC?  Previously (with Arch Desktop) I have been able to check out the license over a VPN connection.  Is this an option? 

 Many thanks for your time.

you can contact Autodesk and they will give you an authorization code for your home PC since their software is dual seat. You just can't use both licenses at the same time.

go into the subcription center, they have work at home area where you can request a work at home license for network users, non-network users can just install at home and use

You can always "borrow" your network license for a period.  We do this all the time with our corporate laptop.  From the REVIT Help menu - choose product license information then click on borrow and follow the instructions.  The only problem is that you need to do this from the system the license will reside on.

Just bumping this up because most users don't know about this.

But what if you don't want to work on, or don't have, a laptop?  I would like to access a license from my home workstation, borrowed from my work license server.  Is there a way to do this?  Thanks

I did read the thread.  And all of the methods seem to require a laptop, that can be plugged into the network, to sign out a license.  I looked through the subscription site and could not find anything else dealing with license borrowing, other than the typical method.
