topic License inquiry in VMware Workstation Pro Discussions

License inquiry

I have purchased a workstation pro 16 license and use it at home for personal development.

I want to use the workstation pro 16 license I am using at home to build a development environment at work. Is it possible?
(If possible, I will delete this vmware in use at home)

Looking at the contents of the EULA license, it seems that it can be used because it is classified as non-commercial, is that correct?

Workstation Player has a differentiation between non-commercial and commercial use, not sure about Workstation Pro does given that it's only available as a paid licence anyway.
