They call it a family pack. That is what I would buy.
Can I unload an old license from the old Mac and free up the license, or is it
tied to that Mac forever?
Do they give me a serial number, or does it need to be activated online/always
check in/phone home?
If there are a lot of paranoid restrictions, I'd just as well pass.

If you get a new mac and are still using the old one, you will need to purchase
a new license. I think there is the option of buying a set of 3 or 5 licenses
together (I can't remember) for about $30 or $40 more than the single license,
which might be worth.
