Re: Is there a free/cheap equivalent to Dreamweaver?

I think the analogy got mixed up.

Bring in a contractor to remodel your kitchen and he brings in his own tools.

If you bring in a contractor to remodel your web, why shouldn't he be
able to bring in his own tools.

Where this doesn't strictly apply here::

- The hammer is not designed with a license where you are only able to
use it at place A and not place B.

- The OP was an employee.

I used to work at a company that supplied asset management software
that would crawl the enterprise and inventory all software along with
how it was used compared to its license. it would flag instances where
it didn't either have a license on file or if it was installed for
lets say 5 concurrent seats, where and when it exceeded the allowed
concurrent seats.

This is what IT is afraid of, being audited and having a big fine
imposed on them by the Association of Software Publishers
