I can try to answer at least a couple of those:

- It used to be that the key you got with your purchase was good for 3 PCs, but I don't see any mention of that this year, so that must've been changed at some point. But because you can de-activate and re-activate your license as many times as you want (I think?), you could have the game installed on 2 computers at the same time, and just move your active license back and forth between whichever one you're using at the time.

- The game I had going in OOTP 18 had been running for over 100 seasons (1871-1977), with MLB + 4 levels of minors, and small leagues in over 20 other countries. So about as massive as you could possibly get. When I converted it to 19, it came in around 2.5 GB. So I would say that's close to as big as any save you'll ever have, and most will be a lot smaller, depending on how many seasons they go and how many leagues are in it.

- I don't run it off an external drive, but I don't see why you couldn't.
