Yes, it is illegal, since your friend only paid for one copy, and thus only one running instance of the software.

Is it illegal to install software on someone elses computer?
In general no it not illegal unless your installing something illegal, like you bought some software and installed it already on your computer. Most software has a legal notice of some kind to let you know how many systems you can use the software on mostly you are only allowed to install it on just one system. Freeware or shareware on the other hand can be installed on as many computers as you want.
What is the differences between legal and illegal software?
For software to be legal, it either has to be free, or you had to have paid for it from the original producer of it. If someone else buys the software, and you make copies of it and hack it to make it work or use someone else's license details to make it work, that is illegal. Software can also be illegal in terms of content. If the software is about an illegal theme or encourages illegal acts (like rape, molestation, murder, terrorism), it may be illegal depending on the country, or illegal in certain situations (such as in public, or in front of children). Or the software could be illegal in the sense that it is a virus or a hacking tool, or otherwise damages computers and computer security..
