Could I install the software, start a new project on a machine that can connect, suspend that project, back it up and copy to the machine running behind the firewall and get it going on that one? Could I then do the reverse to get the results sent back? ID: 22697 · Reply Quote

People have been fired for running it at work without permission, and in at least one case, taken to court. ID: 22701 · Reply Quote

Ideally the models should be allowed to talk to the server every month or so (otherwise the server will think they\'ve been lost). I'm a volunteer and my views are my own.
