As far as I know the convention is that an operating system licence is always on a per machine basis since without the os the machine won't function. In the case of application licences most these days permit you to install the application on a second machine owned and used by you alone on the basis that it is a convenience and you cannot be using both at the same time. It is a single user licence. Adobe for instance allow this on all their apps which the activation process checks. The licence does not permit you to install a second copy of your single user licence on a machine used by your partner or children. Single user is the key point.
