Yes. You can install it on other Macs that are in your control. Probably fastest way is to copy it to a thumb drive and then drag it into Applications.

Thanks Russ. Do you know if I would need to use Apple login to activate on new computer or things will start up OK?

YYou don't need it for the application. You only need it to download the additional content including codecs and for any updates.

Thanks Tom. Our company IT guys had purchased the original download to my laptop and kept their login information a secret so I haven't been able to download any updates and was concerned about moving to another computer. The IT guys have since moved on and I"m not sure I can even find the original information on download. Very frustrating. (Gov corp)

IT guys have been known to do this, especially with App Store apps where no verification is needed in the app. They purchase the app using the company funds but a personal Apple ID, which gives them a free app.
