Whole other can of worms in that question. Regardless of the license issue, what does your employers contract say about this. For one, all my employees are prohibited from taking on paid work in similar fields or making use of skills and/or training and/or company resources the company has invested in them and/or made available to them in the course of their employment,(for personal benefit, payment in kind, hire or financial reward I believe the terms are) or second job without the companies consent. There is of course provisions to protect the employees rights should the second job or work not be related to their day job or the investments made by the company in them. Although I would see your dilemma as more of a professional ethics issue, than a Protel s/w license issue, your employment contract would well be worth a look. In any case I think the best people to ask would be your HR people or your direct superior. Best Regards John A.
