Peggy,
I’m not an expert in software licensing, but knowing how some software companies feel about licensing I would be very surprised if you were allowed to install the same package on two different computers without having some sort of "site license" or similar blanket/corporate type of arrangement with Adobe. This would obviously be too pricey for a small consumer user like you or myself.

Hope this helps, if not contact Adobe using the number on their website and ask to talk to someone in sales, I’m pretty sure the other departments will end up passing you over to sales for the answer anyway as they will not consider it a technical support issue.

I always thought I could install on more than one machine, provided I was only using it on one at any one time. As I don’t have a laptop, it doesn’t really matter, but if I did, I couldn’t be using the software on my home PC while out somewhere with the laptop, so I would only be using the software on one at a time anyway. Maybe that is wrong, so I’ll have to check before I invest in a laptop.

You are correct Richey.
I have been shown that according to the EULA, you may install to another computer as long as you are not using both at the same time. Peggy
