Which has the side effect of *not* restricting how many machines are
available for use or where; e.g. I was running big process a couple of
different times with different scenarios, so I just fired up a few un-used
machines and had them all running in parallel for the afternoon - no
installation issues as I was able to run it off the network drive (windows
as it happens).  If I was licence restricted this would not have been
possible.

Similarly I can do analyses at home on any machine or even if I'm visiting
somewhere else!

Regards
Sean
