To me, node-locked is a standalone license, so the answer is No.
If you mean a network license, which is tied an Ethernet ID, then Yes is possible. After Autodesk acquired Softimage, there were some people did use a USB nework adapter as a "dongle" for network licenses.
If you do have a Standalone license, then you can use the LTU to transfer the Standalone license between machines.

I just bought a new computer and I am trying to install my Softimage suites (wont call it a maya suite). I must have used up too many installs, but even after uninstalling from my old machine I can't use my serial number. So I was wondering, can I use a usb network device like a dongle so I can avoid this mess? I also want to do this with Nuke, but was told when I purchased it that it was not recommended or supported. That sounds like that it would work but they just don't like the idea of you being able to take your nuke with you to work. If I buy something I should be able to use it where ever I like :) I use a USB device for other software and it seems to work fine... although just my luck my new computer does not like my USB thingy and I will end up having to get all those licenses transferred any way to a new device. I was wondering the same about Exocortex stuff as well? I have Momentum 2 (I need to upgrade that) and Species and would love to be able to take those to work if needed. I find if I bring updated software into work it forces the company to upgrade to stay current with me :) Greg
