We added this security feature in the 6.x days for just this reason so that a PIT file couldn’t be stolen from a machine and run somewhere else with a user’s credentials. The credentials saved inside PIT files are encrypted with information from the local machine so they can only be used from that machine.
If you are in control of the USB stick and have some way to secure the USB stick, you may find this useful. You can run PNTSC with arguments to achieve SSO on any machine. Try this command:

Hi Daniel,
We added this security feature in the 6.x days for just this reason so that a PIT file couldn’t be stolen from a machine and run somewhere else with a user’s credentials. The credentials saved inside PIT files are encrypted with information from the local machine so they can only be used from that machine.
If you are in control of the USB stick and have some way to secure the USB stick, you may find this useful. You can run PNTSC with arguments to achieve SSO on any machine. Try this command:
PNTSC mypitfile.PIT –username myusername –password mypassword
To make this work as a clickable icon, I guess you’d have to create a CMD to launch each PIT.
Hope this helps.
