    can you do this for multiple computers? In the past I remember burning the program to a cd from a site so we could use it on our desktop and two laptops. When I used the email link it worked on my desktop but when I try to do it on the laptop it says that code was already used. I can't seem to see anywhere information about using it on multiple computers, do you know anything about this?

    That's a good question. I only have it on one computer however so I can't answer from previous experience
