Hi Adam This is precisely what I wanted to know, thank you. I will enquire as to the possibility of buying the ILM version and also a dongle. If it does not add significantly to the cost I think this is probably the way I will go.
Many thanks.

That way you would have your three keys as well as the dongle to make Jaws portable. I have Jaws running on 3 machines and also have a dongle. Also, you can get a reset of your ILM keys if for example you have formatted a machine or updated hardware. I think they will allow something like one reset to 3 keys every month or so but after that if the reset request gets too high they may refuse but can't varify that. The reset can be done by a web form and gets approved by Freedom scientific during business hours in the USA.
