To check out a KeyShot Pro Floating license, your computer must be connected to the license server. To continue using KeyShot Pro Floating, the connection must be maintained at all times. If you want to work from a remote location and take KeyShot with you, you can borrow the license.
The client and server must be connected during the borrowing process. Once you’ve borrowed the license, you can take your laptop and KeyShot anywhere for up to 30 days. Educational license holders must submit a request with their IT staff to activate this feature.

Note
Other clients cannot checkout or borrow a license seat that has already been borrowed. The borrowed license seat remains with the client that borrowed it until the return date expires or until the client manually returns the license seat. If your license server holds more than one license seat, the remaining seats can still be checked out normally.
