Can a user install any of the CoffeeCup software onto a flash drive such that it can run completely off the flash drive, where I can carry my "Coffee" with me from work to home and use it no matter what Windows PC I'm working on?

It's possible but not recommended. I would install the app on both pc's which is allowed for your own use then save the files generated by the app to the flash drive.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Ah well, maybe in the future :-) (would be good for travelers). But for now, I forgot I could install on both my work and home PC as long as its just for my use. Thanks for the quick response.

The thing to do is save the website to a flash drive and that always remains up to date. I switch between a PC and Notepad and I use a mini external drive between machines. Always good to have backups though.

One website I work on very heavily is for an RV park, during the summer we spend five days a week working there and two at home, I have a small form factor HP in the fifth-wheel that includes their pocket drive port. I purchased an 80 gig HP pocket drive so when I am in the RV I just plug it into the port when at home I can use a standard USB-AB cable and plug it into one of the USB ports on my desktop. A pocket drive is about 5X3X1/2 so very portable and draws its power off the USB.

I have all the CC software that I use installed on both computers but ALL my data is on the pocket drive, including extra files like graphics, text files even my Corel and Word files and so on.

Nice thing about bigger storage is that I also have a folder on the drive that stores the latest versions of all the CC software that I use so in the event of damage or corruption to one of the programs, I always have a clean latest version program to re install from. Also when I download updates, I always update the pocket drive as well, that way I don't have to download it to the HP, I just upgrade the next time I plug the drive into the RV computer.

This is just a system that works well for me as during the summer I am constantly working on the same websites on two different machines
