I have one main desktop and one laptop, and I’m considering buying Adobe Lightroom 3. Does a single license let me install Lightroom on both computers, or is it limited to just one machine at a time? Also, can the two installs be on different operating systems, such as one Windows PC and one Mac?

Adobe Lightroom's single license covers installing it on both your main desktop and your laptop. It even allows you to install one copy on a windows computer, and a 2nd copy on a mac.
How many computers are covered by a single license of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3?
Subject to the terms of the software license agreement, the primary user of the computer on which Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 is installed may install a second copy of the software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable computer or a computer located at his or her home, provided that the software on the second computer is not used at the same time as the software on the primary computer. Lightroom is sold as multiplatform software, which means it can be installed on either Mac OS X or Windows.

Yes. Based on Adobe’s Lightroom 3 licensing terms, a single license can be installed on two computers for the same primary user: typically a main computer and a second computer such as a laptop or home machine. The key restriction is that the software should not be used on both computers at the same time.
Lightroom 3 was sold as multiplatform software, so the two installs could also be on different operating systems, such as one Windows computer and one Mac.
