Yes you can install the Desktop program on 5 computers either by CD or download. You can download it the same way as you did the first one.
The Desktop program is not a "5 person" or "5 computer" license.
If your key is maxed out you will have to call customer support and ask for help.

The license for the desktop program allows ONE user to install on computers they own plus make one backup copy. It can e-file up to 5 returns (IRS limit) but that is not the same as installing it for 5 users. In other words, if you buy the software your family can give you their info to prepare their returns, but you can't give them the software.
