Quote - Any EULA that say you can only run it on one computer at a time is subject to scrutiny.
By the wording, you should be able to run as many instances of the same program as you want to as long as they are all running on the same machine.
That's an interesting note. The PP2010 EULA, which I happen to have handy, does indeed specify "a single copy of the Program (except as expressly permitted in the Documentation) solely for your own internal business operations on a single computer" Multiple virtual machines could access a single physical copy either on a shared disk volume or by way of symbolic links and not violate the letter of the EULA. However, in practice, there is the serial number issue, but that's not insurmountable....
