That's not what the license says:

1. Licensee

"Licensee" is the person, company or entity who uses this NX Product.
The Licensee must accept and agree to this Agreement before installing
or using the NX Product.

2. License of NoMachine NX Product

Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, NoMachine grants to
Licensee a nonexclusive, nontransferable license ("the License") to use
the NX Product on a single computer system. Additionally, this product
may be installed on more than one computer system in a non-commercial
setting. Rights to NoMachine not expressly granted to Licensee in this
Agreement are reserved by NoMachine.
