What is a USB portable license?
A USB portable license is locked to a USB dongle (also called a USB key; sold separately). Systems that run the licensed feature or product must have the license file resident on their hard disks, and have the dongle attached when they run the licensed feature or product.
Node-locked, USB portable, and transportable licenses are collectively referred to as local licenses, because these types are typically resident on the machine where they will be used.
