Can you run two seperate copies of Live on two machines?

Is this allowed? Or do you have to purchase multiple licenses?

Also, if I wanted to create a mirror system on my desktop machine and laptop, will 3rd Party plug-in vendors permit that, or do you have to buy second licenses?

These answer your first question:
License policy for Live – Ableton
License FAQ – Ableton

That does not cover third party plug-ins of course. You'll have to checek each and every vendor.

Yes you can, but not at the same time.

Ah cool, this is kinda what I thought.

Just to clarify, do you mean that you can have two copies installed – but not running simultaneously?

Yes Citizen, you can use a single license on 2 different machines, but you're not allowed to run them simultaneously.
