i'm new to this - but from my understanding you either need to buy a second license for it or unlicense it on one and then re-license it on the other. Check the FAQ for how to do that.

I know it's kind of a pain... I'd like to put it on both my home PC and laptop... but I guess they've gotta safeguard against software pirating...

Well, you are allowed to install the game on two separate PC's, using a single license ID#. That's the easy part. Just install on your girlfriends PC the same way you did on yours.

Moving your league between PC's is simply a matter of zipping your league directory into a single file, like you would do if you were to commish an online league. Then you'd just need to email that file to your girlfriend. From her house, just d/l the file and install onto her PC. When you're done at your g/f's house, create an updated league file, which you'd email back to yourself at home.

Then just keep repeating the process, going back and forth.
