Jimbo,
If you are going to use the cloned copy for backup/recovery purposes,
then don't worry about it, you can do this via "fair use laws", but if you
are going to boot to it, configure it differently, say run one for day to
day use and the other you have configured for development, then
"technically" you need another license, but again "technically" WPA can't
tell the difference as it still has the same Hardware Hash results, as it is
on the same machine. So basically, let your conscience be your guide.
