I bought the digital download version, and I couldnt find any such files in any of the directories. I just happend to know a famous tournament director who is running low on cash and wont be buying any commercial engines for a while. If I could show him some proof that it is OK for him to use my download, I could send it to him, note that I have never used the online playing code.
I would contact the UBISoft support department.

While I could never see them stating it was fine to do so, you never know.

When I add the product to my cart, it is a license for 1 computer. Not several...

Based on my experience in buying chess programs the license in many cases is for one user who can use it in more than one computer.

Sorry about the borderline illegal question
