Hi,
that's not your license.
Your license is bound to network adapter MAC, most likely the chosen network adapter is not connected when you are out of home, e.g. if it's inside a docking station. Solution get a license bound to an internal network adapter, e.g. WiFi.

Yes, and then point to the actual license file with the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable.
