Activating Unity with no internet.

Is it possible to use one license file on multiple computers? My friend doesn't have internet, so he can't activate online, and I want to share Unity with him, but I think that licenses are locked to one computer. Can I share a license or do I have to request a seperate free license for him?

@Cyclops Unity tag should be removed completely.. of course it's about Unity.. for what else it could be? if it's not.. it shouldn't be here :)

@Lipis, okay, I missed one - at least I removed the other two tags... :)

@Cyclops I noticed that I'm not getting any notification even though you added the @.. maybe it's because of the comma, or dot.. even though according to this.. http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/4798/lets-make-it-easier-to-reply-within-comments/35917#35917 it should work..! :)

@Lipis , actually I suspect there's a time-delay. For instance, your comment is an hour old, but I don't see any notification of it, either... Possibly there's a server update schedule or something.

@Lipis - looking back over my response History for a week - all I see are comments to my posts, whether my name is there or not. And zero comments with my name in any other post. So, despite what StackOverflow has, I think in UnityAnswers, this feature is DOA...

It's not clear if you mean mean the Pro version or Free version. Pro is licensed per-seat, so I'd say no. The Free version he can use it, but with his own license. If the problem is manual activation, then take your pick:

Manual Registering of Unity
Manual/Offline Activation of Unity

Also, you may want to read the License:
Unity End-User License

"Subject to the terms below (the 'Agreement'), Unity Technologies ApS hereby grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to install and to use Unity or Unity Pro or Unity Educational (the 'Software')."

"Except during the trial period, the Software must not be used without a valid license. A license of the Software must only be used on one computer simultaneously. A license of the Software may be installed on a total two computers or virtual machines simultaneously."

Yes, I didmean the free version. Sorry for not stating that. Judging on your answer I guess I can always request another free license for him. :P
