You can install and activate on both and you can use on either PC. However your license is to you personally and you cannot allow others (including your daughter) to use it.

(E) use the Software to construct any kind of database or dataset;

What is a dataset?
A dataset (or data set) is a collection of data, usually presented in tabular form. Each column represents a particular variable. Each row corresponds to a given member of the dataset in question. It lists values for each of the variables, such as height and weight of an object. Each value is known as a datum.
 
So can not create image files Section 6.2 is typical Lawyer text.

If you have a subscription, yes you can. You can install Creative Cloud applications on multiple computers, regardless of operating system. You can activate the Creative cloud only on two computers, but you can use the software only on one computer at a time. 

 

Further informations you'll find here: On how many computers can I use my Creative Cloud subscription? (adobe.com)

 

 

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 9 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

However you only use photoshop one of the machines at any at given time.  You can not legally use Photoshop an both machine at the same time using one or two hands. You have a single use agreement with Adobe. When you daughters machine is  fixed you should remove Photoshop from your HP Laptop if its your daughters subscription. If you both have subscriptions you have no issue.
