The key can only be used on one computer. You might be able to reuse it (Windows reinstall, for example), but you'll probably have to contact Microsoft's support.

You CAN move the licence to a different computer if you wish. You can do this by reinstalling and activating, but you can only use it on one PC at a given time.
