hi, I believe the "number of times" is within a year, not over several years, but you can always talk to them about it.
your allowed to use jaws on more than one machine that you own, they normally say three machines (one home, one portable and one work machine) but off the record I've been told that they don't pay to much attention until you get to six or more authorizations in a couple months time span, or if the authorizations are done from too many different internet locations(one is fine, 2 is ok, three or more and they are going to be wondering what your doing since home and work are the two... most likely spots for authorization requests to come from) I myself have five authorized machines, all are mine, in my house (normally one is a netbook mobile unit) and they have been authorized over a year and a half time span so I don't fit the "selling jaws authorizations" pattern and haven't been bothered with. so talk to a rep and let him know about your wish to upgrade your mobile and the possibility of a new replacement machine in the near future.
