If I have a cloud license, can I work offline too?

Yes. After you activate the cloud license (internet required), you can go offline whenever you need to, and then work offline for a period of 7 days.

Once you go online again, the license is activated again. You can then go offline whenever you need to, for another 7-day period.

If the cloud license is connected to my Graphisoft account, but I don’t need it, can my co-worker use it instead?

Yes! The company admin can go to the License Management page and reassign the license to your co-worker. You don’t even have to release the license from your computer.
