The specific issue is that VoiceAge uses a copy protection method
that binds the license to the filesystem.  I believe, though I'm not
certain, that this has to do with comparing the inode number of the
drive on which the root filesystem is hosted with the inode number of
same when the license was installed.  In addition, the license is
communicated back to a central server, so there's no possibility of
installing the license twice, two different machines or no.
