The ULA states you can install on a desktop and laptop as long as they are for your use only and are not used concurrently

I also use a lap top for travelling and I find windows briefcase very useful for keeping the two sets of data in line.
If you network the Laptop and Desktop together.
Then create a briefcase on the laptop.
And copy your Family tree data into the briefcase.
You can then edit either on the laptop within briefcase or on the desktop.
There is then an option to update and briefcase will check the files and allow you to update the files so that the latest ones bothe sets are the same and at the latest versions
