Make sure you buy a retail version, full or upgrade and not an OEM version.

If you buy a full retail version, you can move it from one PC to another as
many times as you wish. The same is true for the retail Upgrade version.

If you buy an OEM full or upgrade version, then it is locked to the first PC
it is installed on.
