If you have a licensed copy of RDi at home, you should be able to
legally*
install it on your work PC.

Most copies of RDi are licensed by named user. As long as you don't
clone
yourself and use both copies at once, legally* you are good.

Other option is concurrent user license and requires an IBM license
server. Again, if you're only running 1 copy at a time, you're good.

*note I am not a lawyer...just my understanding. ;)
