If you are using a concurrent use license of the software, a seat will need to be checked-out from the license server to maintain access to the software.  Follow the steps below to do this:

1. Click File | License Info.
2. In the License Information window, click Check Out License.
3. In the Days to Commute dialog, enter the number of days you will require the license without reconnecting to the server and then click OK.

When you return from the field and no longer require offline access to the software, follow the steps below to return the seat to the server.

1. Click File | License Info.
2. In the License Information window, click Check In License.

Note: Licenses can be commuted for no more than 30 days and your system administrator can prohibit commuting. The commuted seat will be unavailable to other users until the checkout period has expired or until the seat is checked back in to the server.
