Software installed on MacBook and MacPro

I have a MacBook and I'm thinking of purchasing a MacPro Desktop.

I would like to know if I can use the same software on the same license, like Final cut, aperture and iWork and iLife on both computers or will I need to buy another instance or license for any of those?

These are my personal computers and I'm the only user.

Thanks

I'd suggest reading the various SLA's (software license agreement) because they differ from product to product. I know for a fact that Final Cut and Aperture can be installed on one desktop and one laptop at the same time. I believe (not sure) iWork and iLife can only be installed on one computer - that is if you buy the physical disks. You can also buy them at the app store individually and the rules/SLA's are different there (read the iTunes Terms).
