I use a mix of personal and free licenses. The Personal edition viewer is freely downloadable and can access both types of server. You'd need a license for each machine on which you'll be running the Personal Edition server.
Bear in mind that you'll need to negotiate a port-forwarding arrangement with network admin at your work if you're going to be able to initiate a connection to a machine within the network from outside, or the firewall will block it. At home you can set this up yourself. It's more common to want to print something locally from the server to which you're connected. You'd probably want to transfer the printable file (or maybe a printable version) and kick off the print job on the remote machine.

I am considering making the move to VNC personal. I am mainly needing to access my work printer(s) from my laptop when I am at home or on the road. I would also like access to my home computer from my laptop as well. How would I purchase licenses for this? Would I buy a personal license for each machine or could I mix personal and free licenses?
