Hmm, interesting.

This reads like most licenses, except it leaves a bit of a gaping hole.

Most licenses, like this one, give permission to the user to either carry their software around from computer to computer, or to dedicate the software to a single terminal with multiple users... except that they also go on to read "as long as multiple copies aren't used concurrently" (paraphrasing). This license on the other hand, simply states "by a single person who uses it personally on one or more computers"... and says nothing about concurrent use or concurrent installations (uninstall after you're done).

I guess by that right, temp123456 may install it on countless computers for personal concurrent use, provided noone else ever touches it.

Edit: Or is that covered in the first 3 words of the license "One registered copy"?
