To be able to work outside of the restricted environment and self hosted license server, licenses can be locked for on the go usage. Each detached (locked) license will have an expiration period after which automatically will be restored and the PCs will not be able to use ReqEdit anymore.

For detaching another license the PC has to be inside the network after which the detachment can be done again.

Environment

ReqEdit is used inside a restricted network where the PCs cannot access ReqEdit License Server, a self hosted network license server is used. This server holds all the license pools available to the network.

When ReqEdit has to be used outside this environment a license can be locked and detached for on-the-go usage.

NOTE: Detaching has to be done inside the restricted network before disconnecting.
