It can be *installed* on two PC's, but it may not be playable on both at the same time. It will depend upon the security measures employed by the game's authors. Many PC games require that the CD (or DVD) be physically present in the drive on the PC that is playing the game or it will not start.
Also, just for the record, it is probably a violation of the end user agreement for the game to play two copies at same time if you have only purchased one.
It may be time to exercise a little parental authority and mandate a time limit for each of them: "you can play for two hours, and then your sister gets to play for two hours, and if I hear another peep out of either one of you NOBODY will playing for a while!"

There are first two questions to be asked:
-Is this game online?
-Do you need to input a Key when installing the game?
If it is not online, I see no conflicts happening if each wants to play on a separate pc. If it is online, and you need a Key, chances are they may conflict with each other as a Key assigns a 'name' to that particular copy, and the program will detect a duplicate, and usually doesn't allow that instance to occur.

Yeah I think so, just install it on both pc and if you do need a disc to play then just create a backup using cd/dvd burner and you will have two disc (this might be against the copyright laws).

As long as the games do not connect to the internet you should be fine.
Modern multiplayer games require key verification to combat software piracy.

try burning a copy or find someone who will burn a copy for you -- -- or if it's a game that doesn't need the disc after it's installed it might work on both

I think as long as you don't register online the copy on either computer you should be alright.
