Yes.


or do I need
another copy...


No. The restrictions are as follows:

1. You may have it installed on only one computer at a time.

2. With a retail copy, you may move it from one computer to another as often
as you want. With an OEM copy, is is permanently tied to the first computer
it's installed on.

What you want to do doesn't violate the rules.
