Yes of course you will! As has been the case since Windows 3.1, it's one
licence *PER SYSTEM*. If you want to install it on more than one system you
will require more than one licence.
Let me guess, you're another of these idiots who thinks CPU=computer and
bought Pro because someone told you it could be installed on two CPUs?! The
CPU is the Central Processing Unit _not_ the computer! Two CPUs means one
system with dual processors.
