Important question: will I be able to install and play BOS on a second computer?

I purchased IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad on Steam the other day, and am looking forward to playing it. However, my gaming computer had been having issues previously and I sent it in to the manufacturer to get repaired; I expect to receive it back in a couple of weeks. I do have an alternate (albeit inferior) computer that I'm using to write to you. I have created an IL-2 Sturmovik account, obviously (via the site, not via the game setup), which brings me to my question: if I activate the key for the copy of BOS I purchased on Steam on my account, and install/play BOS on this temporary computer, will I be able to install/play BOS (using my same account, of course) on my gaming computer, when it's been repaired and I receive it back? Because my worry is that I'll install BOS on this computer, activate the key to my account, and play BOS on this computer for a few weeks, then get my good computer back and copy the BOS files over to it and install it, and try to activate it only to find that it won't let me because I've already activated the key on another computer. I hope I'm not making this sound complicated, if you need me to clarify please don't hesitate to ask. If installing and playing BOS on this computer would prevent me from later installing and playing BOS on my good computer, then naturally I'll wait to receive my good computer and install it on that. If that's not the case, then I'd love to see what BOS is like on the computer I currently have to use before moving it over to my good one when I receive it. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

 

I think that you can install the game multiple times, but you can only logon at one in a time. I think you're ok.

Yep, no problem. I was easily able to transfer BoS/BoM from my old computer (which ultimately kicked the bucket) over to my new computer. The activation system is tied to your login rather than the physical hardware so you only have a single logon but you can theoretically have it installed in a bunch of places.
