Because if that is the case then it seems to me that 3 unique installs is very limited since i am used to updating my computer roughly every 2-3 years, and that is excluding putting an install on my laptop. It would mean that in say 3 years i would have to buy the game again or forfeit an install on either desktop or laptop. I would appreciate a bit clearer explanation as to what would invalidate an unique install.

I am not certain, but usually with this kind of DRM, if you uninstall the game you get one of your installs back. So as long as you uninstall before you upgrade your PC (and a CPU / Motherboard upgrade often requires reinstalling the OS anyway), you will probably be OK. But I am only guessing, you should wait for official word from ibol on this.
