Is it a best practice to have EasyMorph Desktop and Server installed on the same machine? Are there any pros and cons?

Hi Steve and welcome to the Community forum!

Typically, there is no need to install Desktop and Server on the same machine. Desktop and Server (now called EasyMorph Hub) are linked together via [Hub Link](https://easymorph.com/learn/server-link.html) (aka Server Link). The Hub link allows you to conveniently publish workflows from Desktop, even if it's installed on a separate machine.
