I seem to remember having it on several systems at
different times, I know for sure that I've reinstalled it
after system upgrades. They keep a listing of the
products that you have. The list has a download
link to the current version and shows the serial/code
for that item. My listing includes older products
that I've use as the basis for upgrades, they appear
to be still available for my use.
I have two licenses for 4.0 XPress but I got the
second one because I occasionally ran both, at the
same time, on networked computers. It seemed the
right thing to do, and I could afford it at the time.
You should be able to move it from one system to
another with no problem. It does have a phone home
feature that looks to be verifying that the program is
running with a valid serial/code registered to you.
