    Do you want to use the same subscription of a new computer or purchase a new license? If the former then be notified that a subscription can be activated on two computers at a time but used only on one at a time. So if you want to use it on a new computer you will have to deactivate it on one of your current devices. See the following article for more details

    No only two devices are allowed. See the articles I shared. This is what you do, install on the new computer, login into the account that has the subscription, when you try to open the app it will show you the list of computers that has the subscription activated, choose which one to deactivate and then you shall be able to use it on the new computer.
