Installing on multiple computers

Hey Everyone!
I purchased cc3+ about a month ago, and I am thoroughly enjoying it so far... I love the ability to map my campaign worlds! Here is my issue...
I don't have internet at home, so when I bought cc3+ I downloaded and installed it on my laptop. Which is fine, because I can take my stuff with me and work on it practically anywhere... But my home computer has a bigger screen, so I would have a bigger physical work area on my desktop. Plus, my husband, now that he's seen what cc3+ can do, wants to be able to make his own maps, too. So I copied the downloaded files from my laptop onto my flash drive(32g so there's enough room) and attempted to transfer them and install them onto the main computer... Only to get an error message that the file is either corrupt, or needs a password.
I took the file straight from. My downloads on my laptop... And I have had to do a reinstall once on my laptop, using the same downloaded file, and it worked just fine. So my question is this... Are we only allowed one install per download?

"You may install a copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on up to three personal computers (PCs) at one address (including laptops normally kept at that address) for non-concurrent (not used simultaneously on more than 1 PC) and non-commercial use. Alternatively you may install a copy of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on a single personal computer for commercial use. Any use of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for profit or by any business constitutes commercial use. Any use of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT by recognized academic or charitable institutions constitutes non-commercial use."
As for your problem copying the install file to a different system...
What operating system are you copying from/to? Newer operating systems sometimes change a files properties to 'read only' when copied from a usb device. Try right clicking on the install file and unchecking read only if it is checked.
Edit to add: Also, if it wants a password and you are running under an Admin account on the PC have you tried entering the admin password?

The fonts may get installed correctly and don't show up.
The installer hangs.
For the font issue see this thread and read the posts I made:

If the installer hangs or freezes turn of your anti-virus program when doing the install as that is usually the cause of it.
I make it halfway through the install aware wizard when the error message occurs. I just tried to run as administrator, and the same thing g happens. It may have something to do with my first installation being on my laptop, which I had to do so I could have internet access while I work. This is so frustrating, because for some reason I can't install the update on my son's computer. The update can't find cc3+ even when I type in the correct path for it.
