Each copy of CrossWorks must be licensed and registered before it can be used. Each time you purchase a CrossWorks license, you, as a single user, can use CrossWorks on the computers you need to develop and deploy your application. This covers the usual scenario of using both a laptop and desktop and, optionally, a laboratory computer.
Evaluating CrossWorks
