Need help with TS block and laptop/infrared port issue

Hello Omega list, 

We have a sticky problem that maybe some of the impressive computer wizards
here can assist with.....

The problem is that we have an urgent need to put TS on a laptop for use on
an out-of-town trip.
We need this for analysis only, not for real-time data.  We have sucessfuly
loaded all TS files but are unsuccessful in being able to move the security
block from our main Dell machine to the laptop, and get a "won't run due to
missing security block message." 

Omega tech support gave us lengthy instructions as to how to set up for
security block, but no go.  Then  they determined that the laptop has an
infrared port and they say that TS will not run on any machine that hs an
infrared port because that would make it possible to run two machines by
transferring data overth infrared port. (!!)   Well, gosh, we have no such
intent, just need to run the TS on the laptop while we are out of town, and
would move the security block from one machine to the other as necessary.  

We need help to find a workaround, as we are in the midst of huge important
projects and need the laptop with TS on it to make good progress.   Any
ideas out there? 

Here are the specs: 

1. infrared is currently software disabled. Hardware cannot be removed, and 
forces on reboot, the re-installation of any drivers I remove from the 
system. Infrared is not listed in the BIOS. 
2. Laptop is a Toshiba 2520 laptop. 
3. Security block is on LTP1. 
4. TS build is: 3.51.09 
5. Works on LTP1 on the Dell Pentium 
6. On a secxond Gateway 486 machine, it will run 
only on LTP2. 
7. On this Toshiba: the autoexec.bat 
has SET SSI-ACT=2,2,50 
due to the appropriate test recommended by Omega. 
8. Omega states that security block will not 
work on any machine that has infrared communications.

Yikes!!!!  

Any comment or help would be greatly appreciated....
