One or two licenses for a duel boot OS X / Win 7 system

I am sure that this has been answered previously, but . . . .

I am running OS X 10.6.3 and Win 7 Pro on a Hackintosh with a GTX 260. The Octane license is for one machine, but is OS dependent. Is it possible to get a single license that will work on both OS's, or do I have to buy 2 licenses for the one machine. Because both OS's are on the same machine, I can only use one at a time so one license for the two OS's would make sense. My primary OS is 10.6.3, but I have the same CAD program (Shark FX) on both. Shark, like a lot of software allows users to install and register on multiple OS's and machines, but asks that users only use one version at a time. This allows me to have a copy on a MacBook (used for presentations) and two copies on my Hackintosh, it would be great if Octane / Refractive allowed this.

Thanks for your help on this.

Some here run linux and windows on one machine, so this is not a problem.
If you run two machines, like laptop and desktop, you need two licenses.
