You can install & activate on up to 2 devices.  If you install on more than 2 devices, the others will be deactivated.  You can use only 1 device at a time. 

From Adobe EULA -

Adobe - End User License Agreement

2.1.3 Portable or Home Computer Use. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.1.4, the primary user of the Computer on which the Software is installed under Section 2.1 (“Primary User”) may install a second copy of the Software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable Computer or a Computer located at his or her home, provided that the Software on the portable or home Computer is not used at the same time as the Software on the primary Computer.

a slight clarification of the above.

you can install on an unlimited number of computers. the only limitation (noted above) is that you can sign-in (and therefore start adobe programs) on, at most, two computers at any one time.  that's an insignificant limitation for internet connected computers.

You may install on any number, you may activate and use on 2

Cloud License allows 2 activations at a time http://www.adobe.com/legal/licenses-terms.html

-Install on a 2nd computer http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1452292?tstart=0

-Windows or Mac does not matter... 2 on the same operating system, or 1 on each

-Two activations on one account MAY NOT be in use at the same time (note in the above license link)

-An individual account is for one person and may not be shared with anyone else
