P6 Licensing question

My company currently has concurrent Licensing of P6 for for their users and I was wondering if I were to install a standalone license on my machine would that require us purchase an additional license?  What I am going to be doing is accessing the P6 file on the enterprise database, exporting it to my standalone environment making the necessary changes to it and the importing back into the enterprise environment.

Thanks in advance

I dont think you need another license becasue you can't have 2 instances running at the same time. So since you already have a license for the Enterprise you do not need one for the stand alone.

Just create another database locally

You are correct.  I am just want to have a local database install on my machine as well as still having access to the Enterprise database and would that require an additional license.  As for the connection to the enterprise database it is a direct connection not remote.

How are you accessing the P6 file on the enterprise through a remote connection ?

Usually if the P6 file is on the enterprise database you still need p6 installed locally on your machine to access the file. 

The only difference is that the standalone verison on points to the datbase on your hard drive and the enterprise database is directed to the server location.

It might just be the case of installing another database locally
