I'd like to preface this response by saying, "I don't really know, I'm just guessing."
With that in mind, I would say no, you can't do that. If you have the thing turned on and running, with all of the software installed waiting for a failover, I think you would need a seperate license. Now if you had a spare box, turned off and with no software installed and a failure occurred and THEN you installed the license from the now dead box, that would be ok. Think of it this way, you are using that second box, maybe not actively, but you are using it. Do you think Microsoft would accept the same argument with regards to any of it's products? The best way I can come up with determining if you should buy another license for anything is by placing value on it. If by having the software on a server and up and running you are in effect getting value out of it. The value it is giving you is piece of mind and saved time in the event of a failure. Just my 2 cents.
