@paul

What type of license is this? Perpetual or a term (rental) based license?

If its term, then you can install the software as many times that you want because activation is through your named account. However you can't be log into both machines and running Inventor at the same time.

If its perpetual license then you do have an option for home use (secondary) computer but in your case the machines are both located in the office, so technically no you can't install and activate it on an office computer.

Mark is right. It basically depends on your license type. Assuming it is a stand-alone license (being the most restrictive) then here is the terms straight from the License Agreement:

1. Stand-alone (Individual) or Single-user License. If the License Identification identifies the License Type as “Stand-alone”, “Individual" or “Single-user”, then Licensee may Install a single primary copy of the specific release of the Licensed Materials designated in the applicable License Identification on one (1) Computer, on a Stand-alone Basis, and permit Access to such primary copy of the Licensed Materials solely by Licensee’s Personnel, and solely for Licensee’s Internal Business Needs. Licensee may also Install a single additional copy of such Licensed Materials on one (1) additional Computer, on a Stand-alone Basis; provided that (i) such additional copy of the Licensed Materials is Accessed solely by the same person as the primary copy; (ii) such person is Licensee (if Licensee is an individual) or an employee of Licensee; (iii) such person Accesses the additional copy solely to perform work while away from that person’s usual work location and solely for Licensee’s Internal Business Needs; and (iv) the primary and additional copies are not Accessed at the same time. Stand-alone (Individual) or Single-user License is for a perpetual term, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

If it is network or rental, then you should be in pretty good shape.
