What does the legalese say? Does the license actually allow multiple installs?
No, the license does not. If you take the license text by the word (it is not too long, just read it), you are not allowed to install the software onto multiple machines, even if you are roaming youself between them or running a TCP/IP Client/Server setup. You are breaking the law.

Burnsaber did not asked about legal advise, but about what the integrated DRM prevents you from doing (which is not the same). Here, the DRM is as always a little mysterious, but AFAIK it prevents multiple players with the same key to participate from different machines in a single game. Also, I assume that Illwinter can deactivate keys that are obviously misused (like keys that show up on P2P networks).
