strictly speaking no, the following is from the EULA (emphasis mine):

(a) load the Game into and Use it on a single device which is under your custody and control and which meets the specifications referred to in the manual for your own private and domestic Use;

That is sad, my other computers want to play elite too. At least now I have an excuse for my squad for not flying with them. "My Elite PC is in for repairs, I am not allowed to install on any other of my machines". ;-)
Not that this eula part has any legal meaning to me, it just fantasy words that software companies like.

The ECJ thinks that customers are allowed to re-sell their software, even when the eula forbids second-hand software.

INAL.
