Here is my situation I am a graphic artist/designer that uses Adobe CS products along with other not so cheap apps. I have a Mac Pro right now and I am thinking about getting a macbook pro to handle work while on the road. Is there an application out there that would allow me to install/run these programs on an external HD/flash drive so that I can use them on one computer or the other instead of having to purchase another copy of every program I use which would be cost prohibited for myself?

Thanks

Check the license agreements, yeah, I know... but even Quark will let you install on a desktop and a laptop. Distiller has a log in system so you can install it on two machines, again, as long as you are the single user.

It's possible, whether or not it is legal depends on the individual license agreements.
