a different PCCF+ question: collaboration btwn 2 institutions, each with a PCCF+ license

Question:
I’ve been contacted by a researcher at [the university] who is collaborating with the regional government on a project. Both [the university] and the government group have PCCF+ licenses that forbid access to the data by anyone outside the institution named in the license. Do they each have to work in parallel with separate copies of the PCCF+ and essentially produce two separate but equal copies of the results, or can common sense prevail here since both groups have licensed access?

Answer:
Since both parties have valid end use licences and are collaborating on the same project, they can produce the results together
