Hi

Based on my understanding on your note, my guess is you have a fixed-node license and you would like to request for second license for laptop. Yes, it is possible to generate another or second license for a fixed-node license. The companion license can be assigned to up to 3 computers but only one computer can be used at a time. Could you help check on this?

You are right, I do have a fixed-node license.

I never use more than one computer at a time because all of them are in different locations. Unfortunately, generating a companion license for my home computer is not possible. No matter what I do, the license is generated for the primary computer only.
