Multiple cores and ARC - is remote authorization possible?

I’ve used Roon for years with one core at home and one on my laptop for use at work, and it’s been a breeze to just de-authorize and re-authorize as I move between locations. Now since ARC came out, I’ve been using it while in the car and while on walks and it’s been a game-changer. However, I really love the full Roon interface, and I would love to continue to use it at work the way I always have; but because ARC is attached to my home Roon core, authorizing my work Roon core disables access to ARC until I get back on my home network. Is there any way to remotely authorize my home core to re-enable ARC? My home core is running on a headless server, so there’s no way to Remote Desktop/TeamViewer into it.

No, there is not. I purchased a second Roon subscription because of this, but that’s an expensive solution.

Yeah, I definitely considered that, but I just can’t bring myself to it yet. Was hoping that some other workaround would present itself first, but perhaps not…

I think the only solution, short of buying a second subscription, is to figure out how to use Roon ARC at your second location. Use a tablet if you don’t want to tie up your phone and connect a DAC to the tablet. I am partial to iPhones and iPads.
