It is legal, or illegal, depending on the conditions you signed up for, when obtaining the program. You can check the licensing conditions from the manufacturer - but as a general rule of thumb, if you pay money for a program, it is a commercial program, it is copyrighted, and you are not allowed to make copies, except for backups. You can usually install it on more than one computer that belongs to you, as long as you don't use both copies of the program at the same time. But once again, check the licensing conditions for details.
