Uninstall from your old computer first, then install to the new one. When you activate, MS might send you to a website or phone number to certify that you are only installing to a single machine. It shouldn't be too much trouble in most cases.
At $149, be sure of your source. Academic versions are available at that price if you're a student or faculty member. But if it's not from an approved retailer (e.g. the campus bookstore), it might be questionable.

Yes, just keep the install disks and the license key and you can reinstall it anytime.
