      If your company finds out (and they will) you’ll get fired so fast you wouldn’t even know what hit you. Never fuck around with licenses when they are provided to you by an employer. Some formats have metadata that gets saved, some companies do audits etc.

        I’m not understanding why anyone would use their corporate license on a personal computer in the first place.

          Quite a few products allow for this home use. Aids with training, familiarisation and locking users into their ecosystem. I’ve been able to do this a few times to help learn complex programs.

          Completely legit with Adobe as far as I’m aware - since there is only the one licence available via online check-in so can’t be used on more than one at a time.

          Autodesk is similar - used to have an allowance for a training/home use licence (may have been extra), even the common Office 365 corp licence allows for up to 5 installations and doesn’t really care where you install it.

          Corp data on a home device or using your own gear for WFH is another story though.
