Can you download guild wars on 2 computers?

I might get Guild Wars and i was wondering if i could install it on 2 computers and be able to play on the same account (not at the same time though)Can you download guild wars on 2 computers?
Sure, you can install on as many computers as you like, but only 1 can be in use at a time. For example, if you are thinking of installing GW at your house and your cousin's house so you can both play together, it won't work.



However, if for example your parents are divorced and you want the game at mom's house and dad's then that's fine.Can you download guild wars on 2 computers?
Guild Wars uses an account system - basically, you aren't paying for the GAME, you are paying for the ACCOUNT. You can have the game on as many computers as you like, but you can't actually PLAY the game unless you have an account. This is why you can download the game free from the official website, but you can't play it. You need to buy an account, which is a one-time fee per game (Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall, Eye of the North), unlike WoW, where you pay per month. Once you have that (or an account with any combination of the four games on it), you can play with that account on any computer. You can only play with the account on one computer at a time, but from what your situation sounds like, that's fine.



For example (since the above is technical and kinda confusing): I have a desktop and a laptop, both with Guild Wars installed. I can only play my account on one of those at a time, but I used the same install disc (which isn't needed, see above) to put it on both computers.



Long story short: You can put Guild Wars on as many computers as you want, but you can only play with your account on one of those computers at a time.
