Could you not modify the MAC address on your laptop to be the same as the one 
on your Windows machine? If you go into the properties of most network adapters 
you can modify the MAC to be whatever you like. You may have problems using 
both machines on the same network however.

CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL






Hey guys,
I'm a freelancer who splits my time between big
facilities (everything provided) and smaller jobs (where I use my own
hardware and copy of nuke). My current job is remote for clients in
another city, so what I would like to be able to do is use Nuke on my
Windows workstation at home, but when I travel to visit clients it would
be handy to transfer the license to my Windows laptop so I can do bash
comps or tweaks while there. A lot of software companies allow having
two licenses set up for personal use (for just this sort of freelance
situation), but Foundry do not and if you swap licenses to another
machine more than once a year you get charged for it. The licensing
system ID is derived from a hardware MAC address off a network adapter,
so in theory you could get (for example) a USB to gigabit Ethernet
adapter, and use the MAC address that the foundry licensing tool reads
from it. The foundry don't endorse it but recommend testing a particular
dongle with a trail version first to make sure it works.

My question is has anyone done this successfully and if so can you
recommend the usb adapter/dongle you use?

Cheers,

andrew
