So, if you have a dongle (whatever that is) as well as the thumb drive deal,
you can provide a temporary authorization to someone else's PC and use it as
long as you like, until you unplug those devices from the two USB ports into
which you had to insert them? Am I getting the idea? Can you call FS and
order a dongle, and then download the thumb drive stuff, and then you're
good to go?

The world dongle has nothing to do with JAWS, so I won't go there. But if
you use a dongle, you do not use up your FS activations. The dongle is an
authorization scheme used in place of, not in addition to, ILM.
