Theoretically, you can get a license, but it's not worth the trouble,
and it won't save you any significant amount of money. Just buy another
copy.

[Personally, I'd love to see Microsoft offer a "Family 3-Pack" of copies
of Windows, at about a "3-for-the-price-of-2" price, but their marketing
doesn't seem to have gotten to that point yet.]
