You can put a license server on a PC instead of a server. I'm not sure how well it works if you're sharing the license to other computers, but we have shared licenses on a computer instead of the server. Ours hardly ever gets shared, so you should double-check it will work with esri first.

It depends on what you mean by "fully functional". ArcGIS Online is cloud-based, and can do a lot, but still has limitations, which may or may not be a problem for your organization.
There's also ESRI/Amazon cloud options.
This might be a better question to ask your ESRI representative (or in addition to this forum), and discuss what options they offer.

Subject: Is there a fully functional Cloud-based solution for ArcGIS?
Hi NEARCers!
Looking for some guidance. Our small office will soon be making changes to how our computer network is setup. Currently we own 2 concurrent licenses of ArcGIS Desktop Basic, which are hosted on a terminal server on-site. We are considering getting rid of our servers in-house and moving to a more cloud based system. We have 6 users who know ArcGIS, but only 2 or 3 of us use it regularly.
My question is this: does ArcGIS have a fully functional Cloud based solution for ArcGIS?
It seems to me that ArcGIS online, while quite capable of displaying and sharing data, might not be able to do data analysis, manipulation and creation very well (or at all).
I’ve read a little about Amazon Cloud services, but not enough to understand it.
Obviously we know we could go back to installing ArcGIS locally on each user’s PC, and that may be our fall back option if no other option works for us.
The cost of the solution will likely drive our decision.
Thanks in advance!
Chris
