Systems and methods provide access to location-restricted resources outside of recognized locations. An example, a method includes receiving a request for a controlled access resource from a client device and determining that the request is not associated with a recognized location but that state data exists for the client device identifier. In response to identifying the state data, the method includes generating a link for accessing the controlled access resource at a server, generating an encrypted token including a timestamp, a random number, and licensed resource information from the state data, including the encrypted token in the link, and providing the link to the client device. The client device uses the link to request the controlled access resource from the server, which determines that the request includes the token, determines that the token is not expired, and provides the controlled access resource to the client device.
