On the Dreamspark website, it states that some software cannot be downloaded and installed multiple times because the product key is one-time use. However, I would like to install VS 2010 Professional on a desktop and on my laptop which I can bring to class (if I'm going to be forced to use VS, I want to use the real one).

On the other hand, the installation of VS 2010 Professional on my desktop did not require me to enter a product key at any point. Was the product key implicitly activated during the installation?

In short, is it possible to install multiple copies of Visual Studio 2010 Professional?

Yes it is possible to use the installation several times. The keys generated in MS Dreamspark are from a database of pre-set keys so you'll be fine.

When installing VS 2010 from dreamspark, it gives you a 30 day trial, you are able to insert your key at the Help menu of VS 2010 to activate it.
