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?
I am no legal expert, but bear in mind that in order to blow away the
whole environment and start again you need to delete the media database.
Indeed the media DB contains some of the licensing information. So by
starting again it means you are unable to easily recover backups from
the previous installation, making the solution pretty much unworkable as
an ongoing backup solution. You can use the system for testing, but it
is not much use for protecting your data. I would say this ought to get
you off the hook.
