Question about allowing remote access to Sage 50 database?

Hi,

I have tried to read the Sage50 website, calling Sage support and looking into this forum but the answer is still not clear to me...

I have a very small company (2 employees) and I am looking at having my accountant working remotely. So far, the accountant has always worked from a fixed computer. With the covid-19 pandemic, I am looking at buying a laptop and having my accountant work remotely from home. My accountant should still be able to work from the desktop station from time to time so data between the latpop and the fixed station have to be shared. My accountant is the only user of Sage 50.

My question: what is the easiest and cheapest way to allow my accountant to work with Sage 50 on this new laptop?

     - Will Sage 50 let me install my current Sage 50 Pro licence a second time on the laptop (same company, same user) ? Could I then share the company file between computers by putting it on OneDrive? ($ = $0)

     - Should I buy a separate licence for the laptop in order to install Sage 50 on the laptop? Then I could access the database via OneDrive? ($ = cost of a separate Sage 50 Pro license)

     - Should I go with one of the Sage newest products (Sage 50 cloud...) or is it completely overkill for my situation? ($ = cost of Sage 50 Cloud?)

Thank you very much for your help, I am a bit lost in the options...
