You can install a single live installation in a production environment and development use only installations to support the live installation.
Straight from the license agreement…. An ExpressionEngine license purchase allows a single “live” installation in a production environment and ancillary “development use only” installations as needed to support the live installation (such as development and a staging servers). Additional installations require additional license purchases.
