How many times can you activate windows 2003 standard before having issues?

I have it on one computer and I want to install it on another computer and test it out can I do this.. This sn has only been used once, is this possible?

Well a trial or the activation system using an already registered key has the same end effect. You have a 30 day trial before Windows consumes itself thumbs_up.gif

Note: unless you bought extra licenses your not going to get anywhere trying to register the same serial number 2 times.

An eval is good enough. There's one in the MS Press book (70-290)

Every eval version I've ever had gives you a new key for that purpose, why would it "consume" itself? I never said use the same key.
