The license structure is easy. There is a license manager located at StartWonderwareCommonLicense Utility. This is where you copy license file from the CD to hard disk. You can also just copy of this license disk to a USB drive and you can move it between your PC and the HMI computers. Figure 17: License Server Connection Test. Click OK to close the Testing Connection to License Server dialog. When you have successfully completed the installation procedure, the ArchestrA License Manager creates the License Server folder, which shows the license server component with license features information (Figure 18 below). Once installed, the ArchestrA License Manager can be found in the Invensys folder on the Start menu rather than in the old License Utility folder, Wonderware Common. Wonderware Information Server 2014 supports using a centralized licensing server to manage client licenses.

My recommendation is not to run the development license on a runtime application.
Yes...do the full install (Development and Runtime on the HMI), so you can edit on the HMI and backup. However, use a Runitme license on the HMI and keep the Development license for your pc.
It is easy to swap licenses with the 'License Utility'. Always use 'Overwrite' (not append) when asked on installing a license.
I have had issues with 'Appended' licenses.
You may not need the full Archestra install if you are only using Intouch.
What version of Wonderware are you using?
There are actually 2 licenses that may be required. Both are on the license CD.
If 10.5 or later you may need to load both the the archestra.lic and the wwsuite.lic.
It depends what IO Server you are using that may require wwsuite.lic. However it does not hurt anything if you load both licenses.
