    Yes, it support.

     

    It have two methods.

    Method 1: use network license. below is the steps:

    1, install License manager in computer A, and set computer A as license Server.

    2, install Publisher on computer B, C and D, use computer A as license server

    3, if Computer A only have 1 license, you can start publisher on computer B or C or D, but they can't be used at same time. That means if Publisher B occupy license, C and D can't use it unless close Publisher B.

     

     

    Method 2: standalone linese, below is the steps:

    1, install publisher on computer A and B

    2, publisher A is actived, it have license, but Publisher B is not

    3, please see attached image, use license transfer utility to export the license 

    4, Publisher B can import this license. 

     

    Hope this helps

    Thank-you for your replies.

     

    I currently use a network licence on our company server, but I want to use Publisher when I go home.  I do not have access to the company server at home.

     

    Can I change the network licence to a standalone?

    You can borrow a license. Below are the steps:

    1, start publisher, click about button in title bar

    2, clich license information

    3, click borrow, you can borrow the license for 1 day, or 1 week, and return the license when you finish using it.

    But I presume I will need access to my company server at home in order to borrow the licence in the first place?
