Improve software licenses to allow remotely deauthorizing licenses

[jshuether]

Presently, an Archicad software license may only be assigned to one computer at a single time, and there is no way to remotely deauthorize a license so that it may be downloaded to another computer.  Graphisoft might address this issue by the summer of 2023.  Does anyone else not see this setup as ridiculous?  I frequently do work on my home computer, and sometimes on my laptop when away from home or the office. The only way to use the license on multiple computer is to release the license back to the license pool using the License Manager Tool.  This process is horribly inconvenient to do when I am racing out of the office to pick up kids from soccer practice, etc.  Industry leading software, AutoCAD, Revit, Sketchup and Adobe, not only allow you to install the same license on two different computer simultaneously, but they notify you when you have exceeded the allowable number of computers and allow you to log into their websites and deauthorize a computer so the license is free to be used on another computer.  Please, please, please Graphisoft, don't wait until 2023 to address this issue with software licenses.

Even within the Nemetschek Group there are much-much better practices: Cinema 4D's license handling is wonderful.

...and I'm stuck with an USB-A dongle that I have to carry an adapter for to plug in into my computer, fascinating. Why do I need to sign into the program to use teamwork, if my license is not linked to my account? Why would GS charge me to convert my HW key to a SW key? Why is the two separate license type different in 2022? When can we expect any improvements? I'm not holding my breath...
