I'm running 2 seats of Direct Modeling 19.0, one tied to a MSU and the other to a network card. I purchased a new workstation and wish to move the network card license to the new workstation. We're not on maintenance. I'm assuming spoofing the MAC address will not work. I haven't contacted support yet but I'm betting they'll want me to get on subscription. This version is working great...any suggestions?

So you have a 'perpetual' License / a life time license. You still should be able to transfer the existing licenses from MAC-ID-old to MAC-ID-new. Customers can do those things by their own. Login with your own account to http://support.ptc.com/ -> Licensing tools -> 'Cocreate' (it is a special place) -> 'hardware exchange' (or similar named).
