Direct from Paperport Help

=============================================
PaperPort is able to view and manage files on your local machine or on any
machine on your network--whether it's a folder on a network server or a
shared folder on a colleague's PC.
Simply use the PaperPort Folders option on the Tools menu to browse to the
network and then to the folder you want to access.
Once you add the folder to PaperPort, you will automatically have access to
all information in that folder.
In addition, SimpleSearch operations that you initiate on your computer
will
include all files in that folder.

To add a shared folder on the network

1. On the Tools menu, click PaperPort Folders.
2. In the PaperPort Folders dialog box, click Add.
3. Browse to the network and then to the folder you want to access.
4. Select the folder, and then click OK.

Now, within your copy of PaperPort, you will see the folder listed in the
Folders pane. So that you can always know where the folder is located on
the
network, the name of the host machine is included in the folder name.
For example, if you add a shared folder named Workgroup Project that
resides
on Network_B, the folder name is "Workgroup Project on Network
B."

================================================

So I think that's a yes

Obviously, you do still need to run local copies on each machine but I
think
the volume licencing is fairly reasonable?

Cheers

Neil
