I think you would be in violation, because you are licensed activations per key. But it would be a technical violation. However, IANAL, and I don't speak for Microsoft. Call them and ask. http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/contact-us.aspx Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP

You would need to use the proper licensing qty's for each, but for the issue of not being able to deploy, the Office Customization Tool isn't included in all media. So just download it from MS and then you can deploy. Explained here:
