Legal or not, you can't install it twice. What you have to do is to copy the previous installation to another place, and then run a proggie called MultiSH3 to make it fully functional. See MultiSH3 instructions for details. Many here have done it and none of us has got sued yet, so I guess it's pretty legal

Dont worry, mate! This thread will not be closed due to a member installing SH3
x number of times on his computer using MultiSH3! (I myself has 2 different installations using the MultiSH3 that Fincuan is mentioning, BTW.
And i have the D2D DL version! )
Of Course it's legal! You bought the game, and what you do with it on your own computer is your choice!

Also, check this thread matey:

So there is an utillity to have more than one installation.
I have installed it twice , one stock and one with GWX and they both work.
Is it because I've installed them on different hard drives?
