Having Unity Engine Pro and Unity Engine Free simultaneously
I am working for a company that is using Unity engine for its products and I have profesional license on my desktop computer.
Beside that, I have installed Unity FREE on my (slow) laptop, where I am creating my own mobile game.
I cannot use the PRO license, because its only for the job stuff. But I really hate the fact I am using my powerfull pc only for the work... so my question is:
Is it possible to have installed Unity Pro AND Unity Free simultaneously on one pc?

You can install both Unity versions on your machine - just make sure that they are installed in areas where they do not overlap. Then you will need to activate each version, and make a backup of the license for each one. You will need to copy the right license into the right folder before you start each one.
I don't understand the activation and backup you are talking about. I have already installed Unity Pro, so why can't I just install Unity free to non overlaping directory?

I only have "Unity Personal" but in the according to the documentation at http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CommandLineArguments.html you can start Unity and make it behave like non-pro version by adding -force-free to the command-line
