You can install it on one computer. I wouldn't get the retail version though. It costs $100 more, and the only thing you get out of it is... uh.. I guess the plastic box.

What you want would probably be this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116986
Still only one system, but only $100.

I personally don't like getting 3 packs, unless I intend to control those systems indefinitely. If you buy a 3 pack, and sell a computer with one on it, there's nothing stopping that guy from taking that license and installing it on two more, and then you have 5 systems on a 3 system license.
