Anyone check out the MS license specifically? A lot of software
stipulates that it can only be installed on one machine at a time, not
that just one copy would be in use at a time. Also, if you left your
primary machine on while using it on your secondary machine,
techincally one might argue that both copies are in use...

Anyway, be careful to check your licensing agreement before
proceeding.
