Yes, both “Free” and “Pro” versions support custom posts types and hierarchical posts.
With the “Pro” version you can even selectively add/remove the post types which you want the workflow to support.
The Custom Post Types are shown in the settings page and you can selectively allow/disallow a given post type to be part of the workflow.

Each site in a multisite setup will require a separate license key. You can selectively turn on/off workflows on specific sites in a multi-site setup.
