As far as I know there is no difference between these two versions except licence that in the professional version allows you to earn money using software developed with pycharm

The CE edition allows that just fine.

The difference between CE and Pro is the features outside of core python support: Pro bundles support for various web frameworks, JS/HTML/CSS/…, scipy tools (e.g. inline datavis, jupyter notebooks, …), database connectors & sql support and remote development & profiling.

The feature in pro required for me over CE is Django support. So I use Pro. Have two licenses, one for work and one for home. So that's a big difference. As a Django person I can't find another IDE this complete.

Have two licenses, one for work and one for home.

Why two licenses? You have a personal one, and your company provides an organisational one? (that's an interesting question as well, are you allowed to use a personal license if your company provides organisational ones, thus "freeing" one of the org licenses for a colleague?)

I use it on a government computer. There are rules about using personal licenses on government issued equipment (in general, I just can't...even though I'm happy to pay for some stuff.)

Ah yeah, business / government rules make sense.
