    Portable License Utility missing from Programs Menu

    On a laptop connected to our network, I've successfully installed and
    licensed to a network license file ADT 2005.
    I wanted to play with the Portable License Utility and, it's missing from
    the Autodesk->Architectural Desktop 2005-> cascading menu.
    In fact, it's missing from ALL of the desktop machines too!

    On mine machine, which is a stand alone license, it's there.
    What is wrong here? The install are all from a NIW on a network server. I
    haven't yet made licenses available to borrow (I think, that's the next
    step), but that shouldn't effect the shortcut from showing, should it?

    How can I get this option to appear?

    Okay, I found this tidbit searching the Autodesk Knowledge base:

    A common misconception about the PLU is that it can be used to check out a
    license from a network-bound Autodesk product for use on another computer.
    Licenses for network-bound products are managed by the Autodesk® License
    Manager (AdLM); these network licenses cannot be accessed by the PLU.<<

    So, how do I borrow a license for use on my laptop?

    Uhh...never mind, I think.
    Found a couple of threads under License borrow (Borrow License), that I need
    to try out before asking additional questions.
