Borrowing a license

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to borrow the license from my office PC to use whilst I'm at home, to no avail!

Could someone help out/point me in the direction as to where I might be going wrong please.

When i plug the codemeter key into my laptop, I can't get it to work with the installed version of archicad (currently trial/demo mode).

I don't seem to have the attached option to borrow my license, is this an issue?

This is the other screenshot

From the first one, I was wondering if I had to have 'enabled until disconnected' selected.

I've contacted graphisoft but not heard anything back, that was last week.

I don't think this will do anything.
I assume it just means the Codemeter software will stop running when the key is removed - nothing to do with the actual license.

I know you have the "Solo' version on your laptop.
Is it Solo on the office PC as well or is it the full commercial version?
I am not sure if the Codemeter license is specific for different versions.

I am out of ideas.

It's solo on both. Thanks for your help, I'll report back when I eventually get to the bottom of it!

Stupid oversight on my part.

For anyone else that cant see the wood for the trees, I'd downloaded the trial version and I was trying to use the license on that.

Being new to Archicad I didn't realise that solo was a seperate install and that was why the codemeter hardware key with the AC20 Solo license want working.

Up and running now. Next to work out about borrowing licenses so that I don't have to risk damaging the key.

Glad you got it working but as I said before I think you can only borrow a software licence.
If you have a codemeter key and it is a single license you have to physically move the key from one machine to another.

I have carried a physical key around with me for years as I use the same laptop at home and at the office, with no damage to the key. I have a specific pocket in my briefcase for it.

I had a colleague who carried his key on his key chain, along with his car keys, also with no problems.
