When you buy software, you then own it and can do anything you’d like with it, including giving it to friends to install on their machines?

No. When you purchase software, it is usually distributed under a license that only lets you do certain things with it. It is usually only for personal use, but other times the manufacturers of the software will allow you to freely redistribute it.
