Signed out to your team that is. If you add it to the worktodo.ini file of
another machine in your team, it will happily start churning on it, since
it's still assigned to your team, the only real result will be that the
next time it reports in, the exponent will get reported as assigned to the
new machine.
I've used this technique before, to get a batch of exponents in one gulp,
with one machine, then distribute the work between my different machines
as I consider best.
