is this for just you to use? in some kind of render farm method? or do you intend to have more than one person working at these stations?

This means that if you want to run them simultaneously, you need to purchase 3 licenses. Network licensing is also available however it is more expensive than single licenses (follow the link above).

On a network with one Pro license the first PC to run SUp gets the Pro license... but thereafter the other PCs on the network get SUp opening as Free [after a warning that the Pro license is already in use on another PC on the network].
Unless you need Pro features on all PCs you can still get SUP running on all PCs this way - each has the same Pro license BUT it only gets used IF it's no already in use.
If you have a network Pro license then you can have whatever number of PCs the licenses is for running Pro, each taking a license until the quota is used up.
It is OK to use the one Pro license code installed on say your desktop PC andyour laptop for you to to use 'out of the office' when the PC is not in use... BUT you should not have SUp running on both of them at the same time! If they were networked by say a WiLan then only the first of them to start SUp would get the Pro license anyway... If they weren't networked Pro would run on both of them at once... BUTyou would have then broken your license agreement and if Google found out they'd be displeased [they have eyes and ears everywhere
].
If you are running a 'professional' operation then you should have appropriate licenses to cover the installations you use... That is one for every PC/laptop that might have SUp Pro running simultaneously.

The desktop/laptop multi-license will not work with a network license however.

like Tig said, do they really need pro features all day? if they do... like export and layout3 and such, then you'll need the network license. and three seats...
but once you buy it... don't expect them to be in any hurry to e-mail you the codes... I still haven't gotten my SU8 Pro I ordered 4 days ago.
