Could I do this using one MapPoint license
Yes you can. this is a fraction of the end user agreement:

You may post online up to one thousand maps or sets of mapping Content (except points of interest) generated by use of the Software Product, provided that You do not sell or sublicense such Content

This means clearly that you may copy the generated bitmap and send it to anotehr machine. As long as the other machine does not use any of the installed components (in other words 'does not need mappoint') you are free to do that.

I dont know wy this 'points of interest' is so importand, but it seems so

It is not clear to me if you can post to thousand machines simultaniousle, or that you have to have a 'post counter' that limit to thousand in total. The latter seems wierd to me, because this should mean that your software has to stop working after some years

Then you also dont have to worry about the 'real time' or 'near real time' feature of the licence. They only speak about (radio)network delay and unmeserable delay. A human upgrade is definitiveley not near to near real time.
