Test restore

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

As part of our audit strategy for backups, we would like to restore SBS2003
on a different box just to make sure it works. One issue that comes to mind
is the wondows activation procedure. As this is a very temporary install we
would not want to purchase a separate set of licenses. Although windows
allows for 30 days for activation, I am guessing that after the data restore
this period will have expired based on the installation date of the origina
OS. Any work around?

Thanks
