Product Activation

I have a number of clients I consult with each of which has 10 or less
servers, mostly Standard or Enterprise 2003. I am a member of TechNet Direct
Plus and have downloaded the software needed. In each case, I have used VPC
2007 to virtualize their environments to evaluate configuration changes,
personnel movement, new application software, etc. I would like to be able
to retain these configurations but am limited to 30 days due to activation
and I would rather not have to rebuild them each time. While I don't mind
doing the activation, I'm concerned about what happens when I load up a
different configuration for a client and do another activation on the same
software. Is there some legal way around this?

RE: Product Activation

I should have listened to my mother who always told me "Look with your eyes
and not your mouth; its usually more successful". In other words, I had
asked this question previously in a different context and received several
helpful responses.

Thanks to those who originally replied and I'll follow my mother's
technnique in the future.
