When I worked for large Banks and
Utilities, the D/R preparation included contacting all of our ISVs
for the appropriate and valid use of their products for D/R.
IMHO that would not be a valid DR test. In a real disaster, you could
not verify which DR site you would actually be at, nor would you have
"notification" of the disaster to enable you to get the right keys
before the disaster happened. A proper test would include calling the
vendors from the DR site and getting almost immediate response for
software keys.
BTW, all Innovation products do not have CPU ID checks or software keys,
they run at DR sites without intervention.
