I own a vBulletin Owned License, which expires this May.

My question is this. I already have one testvb installed on a private localhost directory on a Dell, which is at one parents house. I want to know if it is at all possible to install a seond testvb on a private localhost directory on my Powerbook at my other parents house.

I believe all test VBs are ok as long as they are not public

In the strictest terms of the license, it is not allowed, but many people (including myself, because I do a lot of development) run multiple test vB installations. So long as they are not accessible, it is generally okay.

no probs running test vBs as long as it's private to you only and not publicly accessible

If you have a valid licence, you may set up an additional test forum in order to test code, template and database modifications. To make this clear to us and our licence verification procedures, place it in a directory called 'testvb' and be sure to password protect it. It must not be accessible by the general public.
AS to the original question. As long as only one of the test servers is running at a time and they are not publicly accessible, I see no problem with what you are asking.
