Remote License Checkout Utility

Remote license checkout allows computers without internet access to use Cloud Sign-in Licenses. With the assistance of a computer connected to the internet, a license can be checked out and a license file generated for the offline computer.

Details:

  • The license checkout and license file generation through the CSI Customer Center can only be completed by a Customer Account Administrator

  • The license checked out through this process cannot be checked back in

  • Licenses can be checked out for a maximum of 1 year at a time

  • Licenses checked out are not available for use in the license pool for the duration of the checkout period
