Yes - that should be fine since you are paying for a development  
"seat" on the PC - not for the host component.

Prices are right - but unless it has changed they are also  
_per_developer_ - of course you can always submit all your  
compilations to run under a single user! This is part of the pricing  
they have to fix.  The notion of a per developer charge to use the  
host-based compiler is too silly for words.

Also, you should not need to purchase the compilers if you are current  
on s/w maintenance - you are entitled to a number of seats of the  
products you already have - RDi (from WDSC) is the exception because  
it is "new'.  I think though that there is an upgrade discount  
available - just not sure how long that offer is valid.
