I must ammend this response.

A number of software companies are adopting the policy that if a software
is owned by a person, that they can install it on two machines, as long as
both machines aren't used concurrently (such as on a home PC and a
portable). I'm not sure (one of those little thoughts that float in the
back of the mind-kind of thing), but I think that maybe MS was taken to
court on this and it was uphelp.
