How can I borrow one license for my Windows and Linux partitions?

I have 32-bit Matlab R2012a installed on both my Windows 7 and 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04 LTS partitions on the same laptop. i.e. a dual-boot system.

Is it possible to borrow only 1 license, which can be used on my Windows or Linux partitions when I am offline? For example, check out license under windows, use same license when I am in Linux. If this is possible, please describe in detail how.

This is for Network License ?

Yes, it is a floating license from a network server.

This is really a question for our installation and licensing team:

In particular as technical statements may not compliant with license models, so it needs to discussed in detail.

I know is late but if somebody else is interested in this question, a solution is, If you have the student version, this includes 2 licenses, Use one for windows and the other for linux.

[Andreas Goser]

That's why I mentioned potential issues with license compliance. What is working for you may not be working for another person.

Thanks for the idea. Mine is a corporate floating license from a network server. I checked with the installation and licensing guys from Matlab as suggested by Sean de Wolski, and unfortunately, it is not possible to get borrowed licenses to work in the manner I had hoped. It seems a pity, since I would have to take two licenses from the pool if I wanted to work alternately under Windows or Linux when I am offline.
