I am planning on setting up a test environment for Networker as well. I plan
on testing Networker 7.4, specifically on a Windows 2003 64-bit R2 environment.
I plan on using the 30 day evals for free as well.
My take is, if the software says...30 day free trial....and I am a buying
customer of that company anyway, I don't think anyone at EMC is going to balk
at testing their product, especially since you are paying thousands of dollars
for licenses of the same product (only a lower version). You are entitled to
the updates for free anyway.

The test environment I have in mind would be just for testing purposes -
testing an upgrade, testing homegrown scripts, evaluating monitoring
tools, etc.
A coworker and I got into a long discussion about whether "delete the
whole environment and load with an evaluation license" was indeed being
legally licensed. Per the coworker, a lawyer friend of his says this is
considered getting around the licensing requirements. What do you all
think?
Thanks.

If you are just doing testing, you don't need a paid license because
of the built-in evaluation period. The down side is, you'll need to
reinstall NetWorker each time the evaluation period ends.
