Software licensing isn't quite the same as copyright. (i.e., no Fair Use,
etc). For multiple loading of purchased software, you need to check the
company's license (that thing with all the small print we don't even scroll
through sometimes). It is up to the company.

We had a district license for Mac Office that allowed copying to home
computer. Not so for PC versions.
