No. You can bring your own computer (laptop) if you wish to operate from the radio club, even using the radio club's callsign, but you cannot install Win-Test on a computer belonging to the radio club, using your personal Win-Test account (licence). To install Win-Test on the (or one of the) computer(s) of the radio club, the radio club itself must have its own licence.
I personally own a Win-Test licence. Can I install Win-Test using my identifiers on the computer brought by my mates who come home for a multi-op effort ?
No. You are only allowed to install and register Win-Test on your own computer(s). Your mates need a personal licence to install and use Win-Test on their own computers.

As you own both computers, you are allowed to install Win-Test and register it. Just request another key for your notebook on our website. Obviously, as the computer code are different for each computer, the registration key you will receive will be different.

If not, after registering the v3, your v2 will be automatically un-registered. Of course, if you decide not to keep a v2, you can install your v3, and register it, in the same existing directory.
