Yes, but you'd need to upgrade to a floating license. The dongle (and some software) would sit on the server, then anyone on the LAN (as long as its one at a time) could use that license.
Or you could just get yourself a USB hub. These take up one USB port but usually give you four more free ports. Some need external power, but others will happily run off the USB port itself.
