You read the terms of use on software when you install it. Most software companies allow you to install a game on 1 (one) computer per copy that you buy. It may be technically possible to install on more than one, but pirating software is wrong, and you shouldnt' do it. Software companies put a lot of hard work and time into their products, and they deserve our support.

An EA account is a good idea because it is free and gives you access to other great games. i would recommend making one.
After you buy the game, you'll be instructed to download EA Download Manager which you can get from ea.com/eadm. You'll download and install the application, and once you login (using the same email address you used to buy the game), you should see your game. When you see the game, double click on it to start the installation process. You'll confirm that you want to download it, accept the game's end user license agreement, and EA Download Manager will install it for you. A few games you purchase from eastore.com aren't downloaded with EADM. The store gives you separate instructions for these games.
