 I think you missed my point.  Very few software vendors structure their
licensing agrrement to allow consultants copying the software from machine
to machine.  Using a laptop is very uncomfortable to me when using it for
extended periods of time, so it's not even a consideration.

 Also, Snap-On doesn't say that you can only use your tools in the first bay!!
