If your HPC has a license for Amber, then you can make it available to all
of your users (if you have for-profit users, like pharma employees, they
may need their own license).
See point 3 at the bottom of here: http://ambermd.org/amber12.license.html,
which should cover you.
In short, I've never seen a supercomputer center install and support
separate versions for licensing issues.
