No one is forcing you to use your PT9HD license on your laptop. It's a pretty nifty thing, actually.

You could get the ZDT protection and another iLok; keep the PT9HD license on the "spare" iLok and move that with the laptop. The rest of your assets stay in studio.

Copy protection schemes stink, but there really is not much of an alternative given the fact that enough people in the community don't have a problem with stealing IP. Ironic, but true.
