I believe the licence is you can put it on as many computers as you own as long as it is only being used on 1 computer at a time.

The EULA (End User License Agreement) spells this out... and that comes from Sony.

1. GRANT OF LICENSE. Sony hereby grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to use the Software on one (1) computer at a time upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In the event your Software title is also equipped with a Software application-related network renderer (with which you can render projects on additional computer(s)) (each a "Renderer"), Sony hereby grants you a limited, non-exclusive license to use such Renderer(s) on up to two (2) additional computers at a time, solely in connection with the use of Software on a single computer and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Sony reserves all rights in and to the Software and the Renderer(s) not otherwise granted in this Agreement.


2. RESTRICTIONS ON USE. You may not: (a) use the Software on more than one computer at a time without purchasing additional licenses, (b) copy the Software (except for one (1) back-up copy), (c) distribute, share, sublicense, lend, lease or otherwise make the Software available to any third party (on the Internet, an information network or tangible media, by broadcast or in any other manner), (d) modify, adapt, create derivative works from or translate any part of the Software, (e) reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software or otherwise attempt to obtain its source code, (f) remove or alter any copyright, trademark or other proprietary notice contained in the Software, or (g) use the Software in any manner not set forth in this Agreement or in the Software's documentation.

Given the nature of some license agreements the SONY agreement is awesome. I appreciate the flexibility that permits me to edit from anywhere I need to. I own four machines, including three at home and one at church. I have it installed on my main DAW which is in a basement studio and on one other computer at home located in the upsatirs area and connected by network.

I have not yet tried the network rendering routine but definitely plan on making use of that feature when my work load builds up.
