I created an idea to ask them to fix the device license issues and hassle, but I would love some tips if anyone has found ways around the pitfalls of temporary license transfers between devices for the same licensed user...

I find myself needing to switch between my dual computer setup on a daily and sometimes hourly basis. My office desktop is far more powerful and is my primary Alteryx device in the office, but it is also regularly unavailable because of other software loads or rendering jobs that can run up to 5 hours. That can push my Alteryx work to the laptop for portions of the day while in the office. I also work with Alteryx on my laptop at home pretty much every night of the week. On top of that, it is also unpredictable as to whether I will be working from home or from the office on any given day due to the impact of Covid.
I have tried constantly revoking and transferring licensing through the portal, but it is clunky and often unavailable or fails... I have tried attempting to be diligent about deactivating licenses on devices in order to simplify temporary license transfers, but that is a constant hassle which requires device access and still periodically fails... The only life saver for me has been the ability to resort to temporary "demo" installs in order to work. (Which is an absurd workaround for a 4-5k per year licensed software user) Has anyone figured out how to do smooth temporary license transfers? If so, please walk me through it. I end up wasting hours every week that I don't have just trying to dance around this system and use my licensed and paid software on the device available to me.
