Not sure if it would help in my case, but I have been dragging a laptop
between work and home for the last 4 years, and running WDSC/RDPi on it
when I need to. Now I'm giving the laptop up, but still want to run RDPi
from home occasionally. I don't think the license I have will let me have
RDP installed on both my office PC and my home PC at the same time with the
same license. I don't want to pay for my own license for home, and the
boss is not thrilled about buying another seat for occasional use at home
when I'm VPNed in once or twice a month.

Other questions are - where is the work space located, and how do I keep it
updated? Is it in the cloud as well? What kind of response would I expect
to see if using the cloud instance?

Jon,

Just thinking aloud here, but I'd expect VERY LARGE organizations would
find this attractive. If the IT department employs many developers, some
of whom may work remotely, this would be a perfect alternative to their
having to send their computing device back to home office for install.
Probably not as attractive for small business, but still useful for large
accounts... This would be even more helpful in cases where Rational Team
Concert is cloud hosted.

Yes, the current RD Power image is under the Bring Your Own License
model.
There are other models, such as Pay As You Go, where you do not need to
have already purchased a license (the hourly charge is higher). But,
currently RD Power image only provides the Bring Your Own License option.

OK Eric - sorry but now I'm confused again. If I own a license to RDp
_and_ need a PC to access the service it seems to me that the only thing I
gain is that I'm saved the trouble of installing the software. The cost of
that convenience is that instead of setting up RDp, I have to set up an
account etc., "rent" the server that runs the image, and, since that server
is Linux, I will need to be (somewhat) familiar with the Red Hat interface
to use it. I know cloud computing is trendy but I just don't see why anyone
would bother.

Can anybody else see what I'm missing here?
