What makes you think that you neeed to get a change of license just
because you change your computer? I have never had any problem
installing Mathematica to a new Mac. I know that the Linux version has
machine-specific licenses but I never heard of such a thing on the Mac
(although I assume this is going to change with that OSX thing). As
long as you keep using Mac OS 9 rather than OSX, you shouldn't have to
upgrade Mathematica.
