The limit is for 1 PC. However, you can buy a 3 license pack for $150 and install it on 3 computers.

Correct. If you try to install it on another computer, it will not activate and tell you to call Microsift and talk to a rep.

It depends on the license type you are buying, the better license, the more keys you have and you can have it on many machines.
