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!
