Purchasing a retail version (vs. Student) of 3DS is legal, provided you register the software. It's upgradeable. Additional dongles are $3000 each. I don't think you want to do that! You must purchase additional dongles to run on more than one machine simultaneously. It's not illegal to install 3DS on more than one machine and have them render as networked slaves while you continue work on your dongled machine. You may also have 3DS installed on more than one machine, and (carefully!) carry the lock from one machine to the other when you use 3DS. You must not run 2 copies simultaneously (except network rendering).
