Maybe this is a stupid question, but there I go ... I'm now running PT 8.0.5 with my W7 64 bits (both laptop and tower) and I'm seriously thinking updating to PT9 ... but if I buy it does it have a single license or I can install it in as much pcs/macs as I please?? Thanks for helping, guys.

No it's not a stupid question--but it has been answered on DUC a few hundred times and search is your friend.

You can install Pro Tools 9 on as many Macs and PCs as you want but you can only run one at a time. You authorize Pro Tools to run when you connect your iLok dongle to a computer.

Moving sessions between computers with different interfaces (if that is what you want to do) may take some futzing around with io setups etc. But It is overall very nice. Mixing on laptops using only the internal audio interface is handy, etc...
