How to check out an IDEA commuter license
This feature only applies to IDEA Network Concurrent users.
You can only check out a commuter license while you still have access to a Network License Server (NLS). Commuter licenses remain active for a designated duration (120 days maximum) or until they are checked back into the NLS.
When off-network usage is no longer required you must connect to the NLS and check in your commuter license. Once your commuter license is checked in, you will continue to use IDEA with a network license.

On the Home tab, in the License group, click Manage.
The IDEA Licensing dialog box appears. Optionally, you can also access the IDEA Licensing dialog box from the File tab. Select File>Options>Licensing>Manage license
