AV Programs on a 'Network'

I have a wireless modem router connected via an ethernet cable to the main house PC and use it to run my laptop wirelessly. I'm considering installing another PC to run wirelessly too. The main PC has a commercial AV program.

My question is would I need to buy 3 lots of it to protect the 2 PCs and my laptop or will the AV Company only 'see' the router and therefore not be concerned about how many computers I'm running off the same registered AV program.

Sorry if the question is not elegantly put; IT is not really my thing!!

Cheers all,
mcdhu

You need as many licenses as you have PCs.

The fact that you have a single point of entry to your home network is of no relevance - the logical end point of that argument is that a standalone PC would not need a license at all!
