The only sure way to unlock 3ds max is to open octane VP, however, if my license is stolen by my laptop, and the laptop isn't where I am(at work), then octane will spit out an error where it says that license isn't activated on the work computer.

Hi,

I have this reccurring problem - I use both laptop in the house and a workstation at work, and both of them I use with my single license. I have an issue though - If I let the laptop go to sleep while 3ds max was on, it will steal the license, and I can't use octane anywhere until I open the ...
