I don't know what Oxford's Policy is regarding additional EVE keys for an existing
registered program, but Kodak used to sell an additional key for $300-400. This
means you can run a single licensed copy on two computers (one in the office, one in
the lab). Of course, no one would be so dishonest as to use this as a means around
incredibly expensive software pricing. Would one?
