Was wondering if Hero Lab had a "portable" option that would allow it to be installed on a flashdrive? Not too sure what this would mean for the security/license issue, but it would be very convenient for me when trying to balance work/travel/multiple computers.
Thanks in advance, AJC |

Pushing AJC idea further, it would be cool to have a I-touch ect app for HL then my toon could always be in my pocket! and updated at the game table with a small device!

Since all the licenses are linked, the purchase of additional Hero Lab data sets are all linked together. So if you purchase multiple game systems and/or add-ons for the primary license, all the secondary licenses gain access to those same data sets. It's not perfect as a portable solution, but we believe it's a pretty reasonable solution that will work well for the vast majority of users. :-) |

Please note that this is a *viewer* and does not allow actual editing. The lack of screen real estate, limited memory, and completely different interface style would require a complete re-think of how to implement a handheld solution. This entails massive development work. We've been actively discussing a handheld version for awhile now, but we haven't settled on a solution we like yet, so we don't have a handheld product in place yet. The important word here is "yet". :-) |

Thanks for the response - appreciate it. My primary reason for wanting a portable version is that it frees me from having to load a copy on my work laptop - personal preference more than anything else. In a "perfect" world, you'd be able to package using the PoratableApps system, but I understand your concerns re copy protection. Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with. Regards, AJC |

Sorry to re-open an old thread, but I figured this would lead to less clutter:
Is there any option for a non-install version of HeroLab? I would like to spend some lunches working on my PC, but would prefer not having IT be notified that I'm installing D&D software |
