Comments.Text: I've got a similar question. I think it can be merged with the main question.
  If I have single user license: 1. Can I reinstall EV3 software on the same computer after OS reinstall? 2. Can I install EV3 software on another computer if I uninstall EV3 from the first one?

  That depends on which version of the Education Software you purchased:
  
  * [username_3® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Software Single User](http://shop.legoeducation.com/gb/product/username_3-mindstorms-education-ev3-software-single-user-2000045-200/)  
    As the name implies, this is only allowed to be installed on a single computer: "The single license version of the EV3 Software allows you to install and run the software on one computer."
  * [username_3® MINDSTORMS® Education EV3 Software Site Licence](http://shop.legoeducation.com/gb/product/username_3-mindstorms-education-ev3-software-site-licence-2000046-201/)  
    This version allows you to install the software on a number of computers within a single location: "The site license version of the EV3 Software is necessary when installing on more than one computer. It allows you to install and run the software on all computers located at the address of the purchasing institution."
  
  If you're planning on installing this on more than three computers the Site License is the way to go.
  
  Note that the Home Edition is a [separate download](http://www.username_3.com/en-us/mindstorms/downloads/software/ddsoftwaredownload/), and would have it's own licensing, but appears to be freely available, and installable on as many computers as you like - [details of some of the differences can be found in this answer](https://bricks.stackexchange.com/a/1820/56) to "What is different between the EV3 Home and Educational sets?".
