        <h1>What is Commuter Licensing?</h1>
        <p>Commuter licensing allows you to temporarily use a licensed application 
 on a portable computer that is not connected to the network. The most 
 common use of commuter licensing is when a user of your network needs 
 to travel on business and wants to take along the licensed application. 
 If the license code for that application has been defined by your vendor 
 to allow commuter licensing, the network user can <span style="font-style: italic;">check 
 out</span> <![CDATA[  ]]><span style="font-style: italic;">an authorization</span> to 
 use the application for the duration of the trip, and then <span style="font-style: italic;">check 
 the authorization back in</span> on returning.</p>
        <h3>Directly Obtaining Commuter Licenses</h3>
        <p>To directly check out an authorization, the portable computer (for example, 
 a laptop) on which the application will be used must be attached to the 
 network and have access to a License Manager containing licenses for that 
 application. The application must also be installed on that laptop. After 
 checking out an authorization, the user may disconnect the laptop from 
 the network. See <a href="DirectlyCommuterLic.htm">Directly Obtaining Commuter Licenses</a> for more details.</p>
        <h3>Remotely Obtaining Commuter Licenses</h3>
        <p>A license can also be checked out for a computer that does not have 
 direct access to the License Manager. In such a case, any system that can access 
 the License Manager can check out the license for a remote system by using 
 remote checkout. See <a href="ObtainingRemoteCommuter.htm">Overview 
 of Remotely Obtaining Commuter Licenses</a> for more details. </p>
