The deal here is for upgrading the free LaunchBox to BigBox which adds features and supports the developers to continue adding new features and plugins to make your gaming rig even better. Nothing additional to load/install with BigBox. The features are in LaunchBox, but activated when you put in your paid license key for BigBox. Every Black Friday and only Black Friday the developer runs this special for up to 50% off the BigBox license, whether it be annual or lifetime, windows or android versions. You could purchase the annual for the discounted cost of $15 today to have all the features enabled. Then if you like it and continue to use it in your gaming rig, next year on BF buy the upgrade for the lifetime license for $30. Your total will still be $45 for the lifetime ($15 for one year then $30 next year to go lifetime).

This essentially compiles all of your games from different launchers and platforms in one place, with a nice looking interface. If you've ever used Plex or something similar, a good way to think of this is Plex for games.
There's also an option to manually add games by specifying the program's file path. So to answer your question, you should be able to bring in basically any game you can think of, regardless of the launcher or platform.
You can also use BigBox as a frontend with Sunshine/Moonlight (both free) to stream games from your computer to your phone, tablet, media streaming device, etc. using the guide here [youtube.com].

Like, could I install Launchbox on all of the machines in my home arcade (each one has a Windows PC inside it) with this one license or do I have to have a license for each PC?

I have several computers that all use it.

I want to add that VioletTent657's comment is also idiotic and ill-informed.
The lifetime license gives you a license file that grants you lifetime access to premium features. It's not like Amazon Prime or a streaming service--you pay for the lifetime license, and you have the premium app forever, whether you log into your account or not.
I've used this on my arcade machine for years and it's a brilliant piece of software. Since I own the license file, I can also use this on any number of other devices I own-- I recently started building a "retro PC" that I also use this frontend on, to emulate a retro computer with a directory of old games and software I can easily access from the fronted.
Ask Jack0vAllTrades and ViolentTent657 if they actually own the software license and are making informed opinions on it--chances are they aren't. Honestly, I'm shocked they wasted their time clicking on this Deal and commenting on it.
If you need a feature-rich frontend that is highly customizable, you might consider this. I wouldn't accept opinions from those who don't even own it, personally.

Plus the addon that lets me auto drop any of my games into Sunshine/Moonlight. Ay yi yi.
