"If I merely power down my old computers"
You dont even need to do that. Its only an issue when you have Delphi + IW loaded in memory on two PCs at the same time. So just dont load Delphi on both at the same time, or remove IW from one if you want to run both at the same time.
For the new PC, just install IW12 but select XE3 only, and install IW14 but select XE7 only.
You may also consider using VMs as you can just copy them from one PC to another when you get a new PC. It saves a lot of time, and not only because of IW but Delphi which is a big bear at times to wrestle with because of the service packs and their licensing uses activation.
