Let me quote right from the EULA:
This means you can use the Client software one time.
You made no mention of a secondary portable computer in your original post. The problem appears to be the ID in your case. Sorry, but the EULA is what it is.
1. GRANT OF LICENSE

You may separately install the Server Software on other computers solely to allow you or others to host Multiplayer Games of Freelancer, provided each user of the Server Software must agree to the terms of this EULA. You will need to have the CD-ROM for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT in your COMPUTER in order to play Freelancer, but not to run the Server Software.

I'm the friend, anyways, this comp is now using the ID generated by the other, since this one refuses to generate one of it's own. Where in the EULA does it specify that my computer isn't supposed to generate an account ID? If anything it should be the first comp I installed on that should've generated it, presuming it was due to anti-piracy and whatnot.

I had the same problem in Windows 98 SE. But my system is dual boot, so I executed the game in Windows XP, got that key and entered it in 98 SE. Now it works. The bug seems to be related to 9x.
BTW,I'm using Windows 98 SE to play because I don't want to install DX9 in Windows XP, people seem to have too much problem with it. Also FL seem to use DX9 only for some sound effects and direct play (network code).

Oh, btw you could use the key from your an other computer (if no one is using it to play). Remember, these key seem to be somewhat randomly generated and are used to identifie your savegames on servers, so you don't want to share a key...
As for returning the game, if you're like me and you live in Canada, you're screwed, you can't return open boxes because you might have used the occasion to copy the game !
