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.

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. https://supportportal.thefoundry.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/207625575-Q100054-Dongles-removable-ethernet-adapters-supported-for-RLM-licensing-?input_string=option%20for%20dongle My question is has anyone done this successfully and if so can you recommend the usb adapter/dongle you use?
